    An innovative design for curious beginners wanting to learn the night sky.

    Exploring the universe has never been simpler.

    No telescope or astronomy knowledge required. The Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 127AZ Reflector Telescope features revolutionary StarSense Explorer technology which utilises your smartphone's GPS and camera technology to determine celestial positions relative to you. It's super simple - set up your telescope, load the StarSense Explorer app on your smartphone or tablet, select the object you want to find, follow the arrows using your telescope and centre it in the viewfinder!

    The Celestron StarSense Explorer App is available for download from Google Play Store or Apple Store and compatible with most smartphone devices (Android 7.1.2 and higher and iPhone 6 and newer).

     

    Beginner-friendly.

    With a simple user-friendly design, this innovative technology cuts out all the frustrations of manually learning the skies, scouring through star maps and spending $1000s on computerised technology.  This is a true beginner's telescope for hassle-free viewing. This special design operates similar to facial recognition technology - except instead of looking for facial similarities, it looks for similarities and patterns in star clusters or 'star mapping'. In a nutshell, it's brilliant, easy to use and ahead of its time!

    The Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 127AZ Reflector Telescope is a 127mm reflector telescope on a simple LT mount for simple fast and slow manoevering.
