Celestron Dx130 Telescope

The Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ is a 130mm app-enabled Newtonian reflector telescope designed to help beginners easily locate celestial objects using a smartphone. Smart Navigation: Uses your smartphone's camera and patent-pending StarSense sky recognition technology to analyze star patterns and guide you to celestial objects in real-time via the companion app.Optical Setup: Features a 130mm (5.1-inch) parabolic reflector optical tube and a manual alt-azimuth mount equipped with smooth dual-axis slow-motion control arms. Description This telescope uses patent-pending StarSense sky recognition technology and your smartphone to calculate its exact position in real-time. By aligning the phone's camera with the telescope's optics via a specialized dock, the StarSense Explorer app matches overhead star patterns against an internal database using a high-accuracy Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA). Users simply follow on-screen directional arrows until the target bullseye turns green, indicating the object is visible through the eyepiece.The optical assembly features a large parabolic primary mirror that minimizes spherical aberration, offering sharp views of the Moon, planets, and bright deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. It is paired with an upgraded manual alt-azimuth mount featuring smooth, dual-axis slow-motion control knobs for easy tracking.
