The Celestron StarSense AutoAlign is a one-of-a-kind accessory that automates the alignment process for your Celestron computerized telescope. Just set up the accessory, push the Align button on the included hand control, and the StarSense AutoAlign begins capturing and comparing images of the night sky against its internal database. In about three minutes, it gathers enough information to triangulate its position and complete the alignment.

How it works

The self-alignment technology of the Celestron StarSense Auto Telescope Alignment Accessory is now available for all of Celestron's current computerized telescopes. A small digital camera takes the place of your finderscope and attaches using one of two provided mounting brackets. The included StarSense hand control then takes the place of your standard NexStar hand control.

The camera automatically captures a series of images of the sky. The StarSense Auto Align system identifies the stars in the images, matching them to its database. Once a positive match is confirmed, it calculates the coordinates of the center of the captured image, determining exactly where the telescope is pointed. Before StarSense, this required a lengthy manual alignment process. With Celestron Auto Align, you just enter your time, date, and location and let it do the rest.

Advanced Mount Modelling

Even the most advanced telescope users will love using StarSense AutoAlign. This affordable accessory replaces the expensive software usually used for advanced mount modelling.
