Use your smartphone to take a guided tour of the night sky—no telescope experience required. Award-winning and patented StarSense sky recognition technology uses your smartphone to analyze star patterns overhead and calculate its position in real time. The StarSense Explorer Powered by SkySafari™ app automatically generates a list of objects that are currently visible. View planets, brighter nebulae and galaxies, star clusters, and double stars from the city. Or take the telescope to darker skies to view faint, deep-sky objects. Manual altazimuth mount with altitude slow motion adjustment with a sliding rod makes it easy to follow the on-screen arrows to your desired target. When the bullseye turns green, it’s ready to view in the telescope’s eyepiece.
114mm (4.5”) Newtonian reflector with highly reflective coatings and enough light-gathering ability to view all the best celestial objects.
