Description:
Celestron’s StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ is the first telescope that uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real time, making stargazing easier than ever. Perfect for beginners, this app-enabled telescope lets you dock your phone, launch the app, and follow on-screen arrows to planets, stars, galaxies, and more. Unlike other astronomy apps that rely solely on gyroscopes, StarSense uses patented sky recognition technology and a Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA)—like the sophisticated location systems used by satellites—to deliver accurate, real-time guidance. Simply align your phone with the telescope optics, and within minutes, you’ll be exploring with confidence. The app automatically generates a list of the best objects to view based on your exact time and location. Choose one and navigate there by following the on-screen arrows. When the bullseye turns green, your target is ready in the eyepiece. The high-quality 114mm Newtonian reflector with highly reflective coatings provides bright, detailed views of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and deep-sky favorites like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. Includes two eyepieces (10mm and 25mm), a red dot finderscope, a full-height tripod, and a StarSense smartphone dock. StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones; it is compatible with Android 12 and later, as well as iOS 18 and newer, including iPhone XR and newer models.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift
We got this as a gift for a grandson. He loves it, and the whole family goes out to look up at the sky. Easy to use, and excellent.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners!
We have 0 experience with telescopes. I asked Chat GPT what a decent beginner scope would be and it recommended this model. We are more than happy with the results. The price was right, it came with everything you need to get started and it was easy to setup. The app was also surprisingly better than I expected. I wouldn’t go into it expecting it to lock on 100% of the time, but it’s a great aid to get you in the ballpark. 10/10 would recommend!
4.0 out of 5 stars Works like it says it does, although a little bit wobbly and setup requires patience
Works as it says it should, with a few things to know ahead of time so that you get the best out of it.Make sure to download the app and use the included card to register the software properly.The phone mount has a COVER over the mirror, don't forget to remove it when you put your phone on (which I absolutely didn't do and have issues realizing)Don't enable advanced camera controls (at least on Android, specifically the Galaxy 25 ultra) as it adds a massive delay and over exposure making everything basically whiteThe tripod and mount isn't rock solid, and so expect some image jiggle if you bump or put your eye physically on the eyepiece (or if explaining to a 7 year old you don't slam your eye into it)Take your time to calibrate the red dot and camera cross hairs. Doing so makes using the software to locate stars easy.While my chances to use it have been limited by cloud cover and a massive outbreak of vicious tiger mosquitoes (if you know them, you know) it operated amazingly, and being able to see the massive amount of stars around the stars you can visably see is amazing. Even from within a larger city on a partially cloudy evening, it let us see stars invisible otherwise, and let us locate and identify everything that was available in the sky.Before the mosquitos had just about drained us of all life blood.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great telescope
Light weight. Works fantastic. Easy to use. Clear viewing. Has a red dot which makes centering on moon, stars easy. Took some time to put together, but easy to follow directions. Love that it comes with multiple lens.
1.0 out of 5 stars Celestron Star Sense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Reflector Telescope
I ordered this Celestron telescope October 26, 2023; it was delivered October 30, 2023. This telescope arrived in a well padded and packaged set of two sturdy boxes (one inside the other) and within the estimated shipping dates. I give this product a one star for the following reasons:(1) The telescope was impossible to calibrate and focus. The hand-focus apparatus was not precise; the slightest movement caused the optical tube to move away from the target object and lose focus. I could never focus on one single terrestrial object (let alone any celestial object).(2) It did not come with a prism eye piece that corrects the up/down and left/right perspective. So, that had to be purchased separately and was hard to find for this particular telescope model.(3) The phone attachment piece and the app that was supposed to enable the automatic features of the telescope didn't work, even after several calls to Celestron Customer Support.(4) The multiple codes, which the Customer Support gave me over the phone, were supposed to activate the app, but none of the codes worked.(5) The app could only be downloaded to a desktop computer and not to my smart phone.(6) I was never able to use the phone camera to take pictures of terrestrial or celestial objects.(7) I called the Celestron Customer Support multiple times to help me set up the telescope and app, all to no avail. The Celestron customer support acted as if I was taking up too much of their time and came across as impatient and wanting to get me off the phone as soon as possible.(8) I am a seasoned telescope user and I own a wonderful Meade Refractor telescope that I have practically rebuilt with new parts. So I know something about telescopes. I'm not a novice or an idiot. Nevertheless, I kept trying to set up the Celestron telescope to work properly, and finally decided to return it just before the return period ended.I cannot convey how frustrating this experience was, which is one of the reasons why I waited so long before giving a product review; I wanted to communicate from a fact-based perspective rather than from only frustration. Considering the cost for this Celestron telescope, in my opinion, it was truly a piece of junk and I will never buy another Celestron product again.

I have to say this is an awesome telescope. Easy to use, and the phone app really helps to guide you to many places to explore.

Best product ever.thank you Bolo.
De acuerdo a mis expectativas
Es muy asertivo e intuitivo cuando se configura el starsense, el puntero también es de muy buena calidad lo cuál estoy más que satisfecho. Se puede ver la luna, fases de Venus, Júpiter sus lunas y las bandas anaranjadas, cúmulos estelares y constelaciones, y estrellas de alta magnitud. Recomiendo como inicio de pasatiempo y empezar con estudio de los astros.
Excelente equipo
Llego en perfectas condiciones y antes de lo esperado. Es prefirible empezarlo a usar de dia para poder enfocar correctamente.Las observaciones que he hecho hasta el momento ha sido desde la ciudad y aun asi se logran apreciar varias estrellas que a simole vista parece no estan, incluso detalles de planetas.100% Recomendado
