Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ

Unleash the power of your smartphone to take you on a guided tour of the night sky, no telescope experience required. Celestron's patented StarSense sky recognition technology uses your smartphone to analyze star patterns overhead and calculate the telescope's position in real time. The StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ pairs a 102 mm refractor with the StarSense app, which builds a list of objects currently visible and guides you to them with on-screen arrows until the bullseye turns green. Its erect-image diagonal also makes it great for daytime terrestrial viewing.
