Celestron Dobson N 150/750 StarSense Explorer Telescope

With the telescopes of the series StarSense Explorer , anyone can easily find the best observing objects in the sky - no need for star maps!

All you have to do is install the free StarSense Explorer app on your phone and place it on the special telescope holder.

After a short procedure, the software will have learned where the telescope is and how it is positioned. To do this, the application uses the GPS of the telephone. The app then displays a list of interesting objects that can be seen that night. When an object is selected, the arrows on the phone screen show how the telescope should be rotated to align it with the celestial object. Alternatively, you can also scroll freely through the planetarium view to identify objects of interest.

No internet connection required during observation or communicate with the telescope via WLAN or Bluetooth. The phone recognizes the view of the sky through the built-in camera and the mount's special mirror system. The app tells you what the camera sees and how to move the telescope to fixate on a desired object (PushTo).

The StarSense Explorer software uses a special algorithm (LISA), which is also used in space satellites for orientation. The star patterns recorded by the camera are compared to the internal database. These calculations are combined with information from the phone's gyroscope and accelerometer. The result is very high precision that no other planetarium application can match. This way you can move safely during the night even without prior knowledge.

StarSense Explorer technology also works precisely where star maps fail: in the Suburban sky with light pollution . Even here, the StarSense Explorer safely guides you to planets, double stars, the Orion Nebula or other fascinating objects.

StarSense Explorer can be used with Android and iOS operating systems . The exact requirements and a list of already tested phones can be found at this link: starsenseexplorer.simcur.com

The telescope can also be used without a telephone, as a finderscope is included in the scope of delivery.

The advantage of the Dobson: easier and faster to assemble
What is the best thing about this format? Well, Dobson telescopes only consist of 2 pieces, so they can be assembled in a breeze. In addition, they are more economical than other comparable telescopes on equatorial mounts. They stand out because they allow you to really enjoy the visual observation sessions. Explore the sky: it's amazing what you can see with your own eyes.

Optics N 150/750: this versatile Newtonian mirror telescope offers both the beginner and expert observer lots of light and great robustness at a modest price. Thanks to its generous diameter of 150 mm, it captures so much light that you can see far away deep sky objects , such as the annular nebula in the constellation Lyra or Dumbbell, or well-defined globular clusters such as M13 in thousands of individual stars . If used for planetary observation You can also enjoy detailed images of Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mars. The optic has an aperture ratio f/5, so it belongs to the category of fast Newtonian telescopes . It is especially indicated for astrophotography. Capture about 460 times more light than the human eye with the pupil open to 7 mm.

Summary of advantages:

• Relatively high luminosity thanks to the 150 mm aperture
• Compact design with minimal vibrations and high wind resistance
• Parabolic low diffraction main mirror
• Contrast-rich images thanks to thin spider legs
• Easy to transport and install
• The limited focal length allows for short exposure astrophotography.
