Overview

Unleash the power of your smartphone and enjoy a guided tour of the night sky without prior telescope experience. StarSense Explorer uses patented StarSense sky recognition technology to analyse star patterns overhead and calculate the telescope’s position in real time.

Designed with beginners in mind, the StarSense Explorer app features a user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials, creating the experience of a personal tour guide for night sky exploration.


Dock, Launch, Explore

StarSense Explorer simplifies object location by removing the need for star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, or computerized mounts. After placing your phone in the StarSense dock and launching the app, a quick two-minute alignment with the telescope’s optics enables automatic generation of visible celestial objects.

Selecting a target displays arrows guiding telescope movement, and when the bullseye turns green, the object is ready to view in the eyepiece.


Patented StarSense Sky Recognition Technology

The system uses patented technology and a Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), similar to those used by orbiting satellites, to match detected star patterns with an internal database. This approach provides more accurate object identification than apps relying solely on gyros and accelerometers and confirms when a target is visible in the eyepiece.


High Quality Altazimuth Mount with Slow Motion Control

An ultra-stable altazimuth mount forms the foundation of the telescope, featuring slip clutches and geared slow-motion controls in both axes for smooth movement and precise targeting. As celestial objects drift across the night sky, simple knob adjustments allow continuous tracking. The mount is supported by an adjustable, full-height tripod.


Optical Performance

The 130mm (5”) Newtonian reflector with highly reflective primary and secondary mirror coatings provides strong light-gathering ability and enhanced image clarity. Observers can expect bright, sharp views of:

  • Jupiter’s Galilean moons, cloud bands, and Great Red Spot

  • Saturn’s rings

  • The trapezium in the Orion Nebula

  • The Pleaides Open Star Cluster


Smartphone Compatibility

StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and newer models and Android devices running version 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016.


City & Dark Sky Observing

Even in light-polluted environments, the telescope can identify and display Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula, double stars, and other well-known celestial objects. Moving to darker observing sites reveals additional targets such as the Andromeda Galaxy and Hercules Open Star Cluster.

With a total kit weight of 18 pounds, the telescope remains portable and suitable for camping trips or remote observing locations.

Good value, soft and comfortable
Color: Black, Army Green, Light Gray, Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black, Army Green, Light Gray, Size: 4X-Large
Initial thoughts are very positive with this 3 pack shirt set. The green is similar to an OD military green and the black and gray are standard color shades. Material is soft and sizes are true to size. The mock turtleneck isn’t too tight but may still be a little annoying to some people. I do question the amount of spandex in these shirts. Tag says 5% but these shirts are extremely stretchy and feels like a higher spandex content. It’s also a little tough to figure out which way is the front of the shirt. Visually rhe front does have a lower collar line than the back but would still be nice to have a brand tag printed in the back of the shirt for quicker identification. Overall for roughly $12 a shirt these are a good choice for everyday wear. I will update rating if these shirts fail to meet expectations after further use.

Just what I wanted.
Color: Black, Navy Blue, Wine Red, Size: 5X-Large
These may have just become my standard shirt to wear. Feels good whether tucked or out. Drapes well and fits well. So far, I can see it adjust to the different undershirt I may wear. Will probably order another set in other colors and a back up set of the basics because they will get worn a lot.

Its alright
Color: Black, Size: 5X-Large
True to size per the size chart. The fabric is soft but it it feels cheap to me. It attracts lint but you can brush it off easily so its not the cheapest material I've dealt with. Also, it is opaque (not see through). There is no front/ back indicator either which is indicative of a cheap shirt in my opinion. Would be friendly for tag sensitive people (to stay positive).
