The Celestron StarSense Autoguider takes the complexity out of astrophotography.

The Celestron StarSense Autoguider is a single device designed to solve the biggest pain points for many astronomers. This all-in-one autoguider simplifies your entire setup, from initial alignment to capturing long-exposure images.

 

Automated Setup and Alignment

The StarSense Autoguider makes your GoTo system incredibly easy to use. In just three minutes, it can automatically align your telescope mount with the push of a button. It does this with incredible accuracy, placing celestial objects in the center of your field of view. For equatorial mount users, this powerful telescope autoguider also walks you through an easy, automated process to dial in the best polar alignment, improving your mount's tracking accuracy dramatically in less than five minutes.

 

Computer-Free Autoguiding

To keep your celestial target locked-in over long exposures, autoguiding is essential. The Celestron StarSense Autoguider corrects for periodic error in your mount, preventing streaky stars and keeping your subject sharp. Normally, you would need a separate camera, guidescope, and computer to autoguide—but this device can do it all on its own, functioning as a complete telescope autoguider system in one package.

 

High-Quality Optics and Advanced Control

The high-quality, 4-element optical design in the StarSense Autoguider was designed by Mark Ackermann and provides exceptionally sharp images. For experienced astrophotographers, this Celestron autoguider offers extensive fine-tuning capabilities through the CPWI software, including dithering and adjusting guiding parameters to autoguide with maximum precision.
The Celestron StarSense Autoguider works with most modern Celestron computerized mounts (both EQ and AZ) and can be controlled via a NexStar+ Hand Controller, a direct PC connection, or WiFi, making it a versatile autoguider for almost any modern Celestron setup.
