Celestron StarSense Explorer 114mm f/4 Tabletop Dobsonian Telescope
Celestron StarSense Explorer Overview
Pairing the simplicity of a Dobsonian with a comprehensive but user-friendly smartphone app, the StarSense Explorer 114mm f/4 Tabletop Dobsonian Telescope from Celestron makes it easy to observe fascinating objects in the cosmos. No computerized mount is needed�simply place your phone in the dock attached to the optical tube, and after a quick alignment, the app will scan the sky and guide you to Jupiter's Great Red Spot, Saturn's rings, the Orion Nebula, and hundreds of other objects. When the bull's-eye on your phone screen turns green, the object is visible in your eyepiece.
Equipped with a 114mm parabolic primary mirror, the telescope can pick out the brighter objects, even when used in a city. A darker location will provide access to many more. The Tabletop Dobsonian is highly portable and can be used on a table, a car hood, or atop an optional tripod.
- Navigate the sky within minutes of setting up, even with no telescope experience
- StarSense Explorer app works with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up, and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016

- Audio descriptions and detailed information about thousands of objects within the app's robust database
- Alt-azimuth base with Teflon bearings and altitude brake permits smooth movement of optical tube for following objects across the sky
