Built-in WiFi and Celestron SkyPortal app

Control your telescope with your smart device. The Astro Fi series broadcasts its own wireless connection to Celestron’s SkyPortal app to provide easy remote viewing. Celestron’s SkyPortal app replaces traditional manual telescope control for a 100% wireless experience. Scan the sky for an object you’d like to view, tap the object in SkyPortal, and watch as your Astro Fi telescope automatically orients itself toward the object. As you observe, SkyPortal provides information about the object—exploring the universe has never been more fun!

NOTE: Due to the amount of information SkyPortal offers, we recommend downloading the app before heading out to observe.

SkyAlign Technology

Getting ready to observe is quick and easy thanks to Celestron's award-winning SkyAlign technology. Center three bright objects in the eyepiece and your telescope will calculate their position. You can even generate a Sky Tour of all the best celestial objects to view based on your exact time and location.

Included accessories

The Astro Fi 125 comes with two eyepieces (25mm and 10mm), a star diagonal, a built-in smartphone adapter, and a red dot finderscope. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications for viewing your desired object. The star diagonal provides an upward view for a more comfortable viewing angle when looking up at the sky. The red dot finderscope will help you quickly center an object in your eyepiece for easier observing.

Smartphone Adapter & Lens Cap - Capture images of celestial or terrestrial objects with this smartphone adapter! The Astro Fi Lens Cap has a built-in smartphone adapter for capturing fantastic images of the Moon, planets, and terrestrial targets like birds and wildlife. With its lightweight, rigid frame, this accessory allows you to attach any smartphone to any telescope eyepiece with an outer diameter of 45mm or smaller. This smartphone adapter easily installs over the top of an eyepiece, while the elastic cords securely hold your phone in place so you can take photos or videos. While the vast majority of smartphones can be used with the case on, some very large or bulky phone cases (such as folio-style cases) may need to be removed to fit your phone into the adapter.
