Specifications: Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ 114mm F9 AZ Telescope

• Download StarSense Explorer app from the Google Play (Android) store or App Store (iPhone)

• Place an Android smartphone or iPhone in the included StarSense Explorer dock

• 2-minute procedure to align the phone with the telescope

• App generates a list of celestial objects currently visible

• Select the object to view and arrows appear onscreen, guiding the user as they move the telescope

• When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green

• The StarSense app utilizes a “Lost in Space Algorithm” (LISA) to accurately calculate the current location and orientation by using the phone’s GPS data, gyroscopic input, and camera to map the night sky and compare it to the app’s database to accurately align and orient the scope and determine what is visible overhead

• App is self-contained; no cell signal required for use far off the grid

• Android 7.1.2 and higher manufactured in 2016 and later, with camera, gyro, and accelerometeriPhone 6 and newer

• Large 114mm f/9 aperture to view the moon, planets, stars, globular clusters, and other bright deep-space objects

• Long 1000mm focal length produces a high magnification potential for a variety of applications

• Newtonian reflector optical design provides a large clear aperture without the restrictions on size experienced by refractor designs

• Highly reflective aluminium-coated mirrors improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrast

• Secondary mirror obstruction: 44mm (1.73″); 38% by diameter, 14% by area

• Resolution: 1.22 arcsec, Rayleigh; 1.02 arcsec, Dawes

• Reliable single-speed rack-and-pinion focuser

• Standard 1.25″ holder accepts the most common size eyepieces and accessories, including the two eyepieces and Barlow lens in this kit

• Manual alt-azimuth mount design is simple to set up and move by hand

• Control handle provides a precise way to move and track objects with reduced vibration

• Simple and sturdy yoke mounting offers stability and reduced vibration

• Adjustable-height aluminium tripod accommodates a variety of users and observing positions

• Maximum height of 52″ (132cm) including mount

• The Center tray holds accessories such as eyepieces and filters

• 25mm eyepiece produces a low 40x power for observing the moon, planets, deep-sky objects, and constellations

• 10mm high-magnification eyepiece yields 100x power for detailed views of the lunar surface and planetary features

• 2x Barlow lens effectively doubles the magnification of any 1.25″ eyepiece installed on it without affecting eye relief, making it more comfortable to view at high power

• Unmagnified StarPointer finderscope places a simple red dot in the field of view to make alignment and star-hopping navigation faster and easier
