StarSense Explorer? LT 80AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Refractor TelescopeTelescopes

has reinvented the manual telescope with Star Sense Explorer��the first telescope that uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real time. Star Sense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the app��s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It��s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky.nbsp;Dock, Launch, ExploreLeave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With Star Sense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you��ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique Star Sense dock and launch the Star Sense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope��s optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), Star Sense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, guiding you as you to move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green.nbsp;Smartphone CompatibilityStar Sense Explorer works with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016. For a complete compatibility list,nbsp;click here.nbsp;Patent-Pending Star Sense Sky Recognition TechnologyStar Sense Explorer uses patent-pending technology and your smartphone to determine exactly where the telescope is pointed in the night sky. A Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to correctly reorient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database.While other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone��s gyros and accelerometers, which aren��t as accurate as LISA technology. No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece.nbsp;Sturdy Altazimuth MountStar Sense Explorer LT��s simple altazimuth mount makes it easy to move the telescope to find your target. Annbsp;altitude slow motion adjustment with a sliding rodnbsp;helps you fine tune the telescope��s pointing position and follow targets as they appear to drift across the night sky. It��s all anchored by an adjustable, full-height tripod.nbsp;Dazzling Views with High Quality OpticsYou can expect sharp, bright views through this 80mm refractor. Fully coated glass optics provide increased light transmission, enhancing details in celestial objects. The telescope also includes a 90-degree erect image diagonal, so you can use it during the day to view birds, wildlife, landscapes, and more.nbsp;Perfect for the City or Dark Sky SitesEven if you live in a light polluted city location, Star Sense Explorer is advanced enough to be able to pick out Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula, double stars, and a few more of the most famous celestial objects.But if you can take the telescope to an even slightly darker location, more objects will become visible. The entire telescope kit weighs just 9.2 pounds, so it��s perfectly portable and easy to bring on your next camping trip or to a remote observing site. has reinvented the manual telescope with Star Sense Explorer the first telescope that uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real-time.
