About this product

The Celestron StarSense Explorer 12" f/4.9 Smartphone App-Enabled Dobsonian Telescope is a high-performance astronomical instrument designed for stargazing using smartphone integration. It features a large 12-inch parabolic primary mirror with XLT coatings for enhanced light gathering and clear imaging. The telescope uses patented StarSense sky recognition technology, which leverages the user's smartphone to analyze star patterns and automatically align itself in real time. This allows precise tracking of celestial objects such as planets, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Its Dobsonian-style base offers smooth movement with variable altitude tensioning, enabling easy follow-along with on-screen guidance. The device works with the SkySafari app to generate a list of currently visible objects, making it accessible for beginners and valuable for experienced observers. Clean maintenance is simple—just wipe the surface.
