Let your smartphone take you on a guided tour of the night sky or city with the award-winning StarSense sky recognition technology. The Celestron StarSense Explorer 203mm Dobsonian Telescope requires no previous experience as the app's user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials provide a serious beginner with everything you can think of. 

The large 203mm aperture will keep your astronomical adventures going without outgrowing the telescope. It features a large parabolic primary mirror with XLT coatings that lets you view in extraordinary detail. The Dobsonian-style base is designed with diameter bearings and variable altitude tensioning that lets you easily follow your desired target with on-screen arrow indicators in a smooth up-and-down motion.

Going far or off the grid - the app is self-contained, so there is no need for a cellphone signal. It analyses star patterns and makes calculations in real-time to show you what you might be missing with the naked eye. You will be able to view Jupiter, Saturn, open star clusters like the Pleiades, double stars like Alberio, the Orion Nebula and more.
