The StarSense Explorer LT70AZ is a 70 mm refractor telescope that uses a smartphone to identify objects in the night sky and calculate the telescope\u2019s orientation in real time. The app\u2019s guidance and tutorials are particularly well suited to beginners who want to find planets, nebulae and double stars without the need for star charts. Take a look at our other products too astronomical telescopes and observational equipment<\/a>.<\/p>\n The phone is placed in the StarSense dock, and it is aligned with the telescope\u2019s optics in around two minutes. The StarSense Explorer app then displays a list of currently visible objects, and arrows on the screen guide you to point the telescope in the right direction. When the object is visible through the eyepiece, the crosshairs turn green. The patented Lost in Space algorithm (LISA) compares the constellations observed in the sky with the app\u2019s database, so positioning is not based solely on the phone\u2019s gyroscopes and accelerometers.<\/p>\n Fully coated glass optics improve light transmission and bring out the fine details of celestial objects. Even in a city with light pollution, you\u2019ll be able to spot Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula and double stars, whilst in darker areas even more objects will become visible. The included 90-degree angle mirror also allows you to observe birds, wildlife and landscapes during the day.<\/p>\n With the alt-azimuth mount, it is easy to swivel the telescope from one object to another, and the slow-motion elevation adjustment helps you track objects moving across the sky. The whole assembly is mounted on an adjustable, full-height tripod, and the entire set weighs just 4.2 kg, making it easy to take along on excursions and to observation sites.<\/p>\nYour smartphone will guide you to your destination<\/h4>\n
