The\u00a0StarSense Explorer<\/b>\u00a0telescope uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real time. StarSense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the app\u2019s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It\u2019s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky.<\/p>\n

Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you\u2019ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope\u2019s optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), StarSense 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.<\/p>\n

StarSense 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.<\/p>\n

Even if you live in a light polluted city location, StarSense 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.<\/p>\n

The Optics of the<\/b>\u00a0AC 70\/700:<\/p>\n

With its 70mm aperture, this refractor collects\u00a0100 times more light<\/b>\u00a0than the naked eye and substantially more light than a typical beginner telescope possessing an only slightly smaller aperture of 60mm. This means it also has a\u00a0higher resolution<\/b>\u00a0and, with a\u00a0maximum magnification of 140X<\/b>, can already show you the larger surface features when observing planets such as\u00a0Saturn, Jupiter and Mars<\/b>. It is also very rewarding to observe the moon: One can beautifully observe the\u00a0cratered landscape of the moon<\/b>, which always looks different depending upon the moon’s current phase. It is also interesting for nature watching in daylight – made possible by using an erecting lens or an Amici prism. Focusing takes place by means of a\u00a0rack and pinion<\/b>\u00a0focus wheel at the focuser. This allows the image sharpness to always be precisely adjusted and to remain fixed during observing.<\/p>\n

The optics are also highly suitable for use as a\u00a0guide scope<\/b>\u00a0for\u00a0astrophotography<\/b>\u00a0or guiding<\/b>\u00a0in conjunction with a larger telescope.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0azimuthal mount<\/b>\u00a0facilitates intuitive telescope movement and alignment with the desired celestial object.<\/p>\n
