Celestron StarSense Explorer DX6″ SCT -tähtikaukoputki

StarSense Explorer DX6″ SCT on manuaalinen 6 tuuman Schmidt-Cassegrain-kaukoputki, joka analysoi yötaivasta älypuhelimen avulla ja laskee osoitussuunnan reaaliajassa. Sovelluksen opetusohjelmat ja selkeä käyttöliittymä tekevät siitä sopivan aloittelijalle, eikä aiempaa kaukoputkikokemusta tarvita. Tutustu myös muihin astronomical telescopes in our range.

Plug your phone into the dock and you’ll find what you’re looking for

The phone is placed in the StarSense dock and aligned with the telescope’s optics in around two minutes. The StarSense Explorer app generates a list of celestial objects currently visible, and when you select an object, the arrows on the screen guide the telescope in the correct direction. When the crosshairs turn green, the object is ready to view through the eyepiece. The system works on the iPhone 6 and later models, as well as on most Android 7.1.2 devices or later manufactured from 2016 onwards.

Slow-speed adjustments on both axles

The altazimuth mount’s slide switches and damped adjustment knobs move the tube smoothly, so you can fine-tune the alignment and track the object as it drifts across the sky simply by turning a knob. The whole unit rests on an adjustable, full-height tripod.

Places in the city beneath the dark sky

Even in a city with light pollution, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula and double stars are visible. In a darker location, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Hercules Cluster, for example, also come into view. Jupiter’s four Galilean moons, its bands and the Great Red Spot are clearly visible, whilst Saturn’s rings and the Pleiades stand out in sharp relief.

Main features

• The smartphone-based StarSense technology locates celestial objects without the need for star charts or a computerised mount.
• The arrows on the app’s screen guide you to the telescope’s target, and the green crosshairs indicate when the target is in your field of view.
• The 150 mm aperture of the Schmidt-Cassegrain design gathers enough light to reveal details on the planets and bright deep-sky objects.
• StarBright XLT coatings on all glass surfaces exposed to the air enhance contrast and light transmission.
• Thanks to the two eyepieces, magnifications of 38x and 150x are available.
• With the red-dot sight, the telescope can also be used without a mobile phone.
• The app works on most modern iPhone and Android phones.
