Celestron StarSense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the app’s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; color: #333e48;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eDock, Launch, Explore\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; color: #333e48;\"\u003eLeave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With Celestron StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you’ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope’s optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), Celestron StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, guiding you as you to move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; color: #333e48;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; color: #333e48;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;\"\u003eSmartphone Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; color: #333e48;\"\u003eCelestron StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016.
