Most of the time, the view of distant stars using smartphone apps is often restrained by the devices’ tiny, light-limited cameras. Now Celestron is using its decade’s old experience to develop a first smartphone-driven auto-locating telescope to let novices explore the stars, combining a modern telescope with an Android phone and iPhone. Celestron’s StarSense Explorer includes four models, ranging from $180 LT 80mm refractor and 114mm reflector telescopes to larger $400 DX 102mm refractor and 130mm reflector telescopes.The StarSense Explorer finally offers thousands of customers an approachable path to sky exploration that is simple, affordable, and visually breathtaking.
