But it's a great bit of kit, I still take time to polar align as well as I reasonably can after all it's not going to hurt - and anything to get the best results. It's quick to get going and within a couple of minutes it's oriented itself and you can then further add precision by adding other stars, systematically using a more powerful lens and then precision tuning it. It's not cheap clearly but really does mean you can get viewing quicker which is even better if it's not an entirely clear night, or you only have a short time. Reassuring too as it's scanning numerous stars across the night sky. After a quick alignment I've certainly had stable 45s-1min 15s exposures. Review: Excellent addition to my kit. - Excellent item. I use this to align my avx mount. Once calibrated to your scope setup it works great. I run it from the cpwi software an not the handset. I think I set the axis limits to 20 degrees so it won't search for stars below my fence line. The calibration to your scope is very important but is not difficult to do, an you don't have to calibrate each time you use it. Once you click the star sence auto align ,it only takes a few minutes to align it self. You can also run a polar align routine if you want to get your mount spot on, but read up an how to do it in the instructions first. ## Features - STARSENSE AUTOMATIC ALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY: Attaches to your Celestron computerized telecsope and automatically aligns the GoTo system in about 3 minutes with no user input needed - GREAT FOR BEGINNERS: Astronomy newbies can let the telescope align itself without the need to identify or locate a single star in the sky; Spend less time aligning and more time having fun! - ADVANCED MOUNT MODELING: Advanced observers and astroimagers will love using StarSense AutoAlign to align on numerous stars across the sky for extremely precise GoTo pointing accuracy - STARSENSE HAND CONTROL INCLUDED: StarSense AutoAlign includes a StarSense camera that captures images of star patterns overhead and the exclusive StarSense hand control, which calculates the telescope's position based on data from the camera - WORKS WITH CELESTRON COMPUTERIZED MOUNTS: Compatible with all current Celestron computerized mounts (except LCM) and many older mounts, too; Check product description for full compatibility info ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EZILDLS | | Best Sellers Rank | 163 in Telescope Accessories | | Brand | Celestron | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Coating | Multilayer coating | | Compatible Devices | Celestron computerized mounts (except LCM) | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 993 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 16.04 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | StarBright XLT | | Eye piece lens description | StarBright XLT | | Field Of View | 0.85 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 9.25 inches | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234940054 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 25D x 23.5W x 11H centimetres | | Item Weight | 980 Grams | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 94005-CGL | | Model Name | 94005 | | Model Number | 94005-CGL | | Model name | 94005 | | Mount | Equatorial Mount | | Objective Lens Diameter | 40 Millimetres | | Objective lens diameter | 40 Millimetres | | Optical tube length | 9.25 inches | | Optical-Tube Length | 9.25 inches | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Features | Automatic Alignment in Less Than 3 Minutes | | Telescope mount description | Equatorial Mount | | UPC | 050234940054 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Zoom Ratio | 50 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Eye piece lens description:** StarBright XLT - **Finderscope:** Reflex - **Focus type:** Manual Focus - **Model name:** 94005 - **Objective lens diameter:** 40 Millimetres - **Optical tube length:** 9.25 inches - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 25D x 23.5W x 11H centimetres - **Telescope mount description:** Equatorial Mount ## Images ![94005 StarSense Automatic Alignment Telescope Accessory, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ATPWoee+L.jpg) ![94005 StarSense Automatic Alignment Telescope Accessory, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/412V8JgElSL.jpg) ![94005 StarSense Automatic Alignment Telescope Accessory, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41BYn8V8GXL.jpg) ![94005 StarSense Automatic Alignment Telescope Accessory, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M3NqEIYnL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I'm abit confused with this device. Does it take the place of the finder scope or attach to it? Can this be used with autoguiders?** A: Takes the place of the finder. You can mount it in addition to the finder but the finder is no longer used in the alignment process. **Q: Sooooo, this is not an auto alignment device if you have to manually align it, then hope it maintains what star you picked to go back to “realignment?** A: The StarSense accessory is indeed an auto-alignment tool. However, as the camera and firmware cannot assume the the center of the StarSense camera is perfectly aligned with the center of your eyepiece, a calibration routine needs to be done when first installing to tell the StarSense precisely which pixel on the camera lines up with the center of your eyepiece. This calibration is saved in the camera and only needs to be re-done if the StarSense bracket is adjusted or the camera is moved onto another telescope. The StarSense looks at fields of stars, not individual stars, and it uses those fields to determine the exact center of the FOV for each alignment "point." **Q: Does this work with the Celestron CPC 925 Schmidt-Cassegrain?** A: According to the compatibility chart in the instructions it is compatible with the CPC models. I have a CPC925 also, but have it attached to a Nextstar6 evolution. I think because the evolution is a newer model I had to upgrade the firmware. Probably might have to upgrade it for the CPC. All the Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrains use the large bracket that attaches the camera to the scope. The camera slides off the bracket making it easier to attach bracket to scope. Once attached slide camera back on bracket and use the special long screw (bolt) that keeps camera on the bracket. Celestron website has firmware update with instructions on how to use. Celestron tech support was also helpful with email on how to upgrade. The picture attached to my original post shows the cables needed to upgrade the firmware and how to set up. Good luck, I hope my cpc works after a year in storage, terrible clouds and fog in this area. **Q: Does this align accurately enough on a CGEM or an AVX for astrophotography with C9.5. I need prescise and accurate goto, at times @ focal length 11** A: If you take your time and follow the instructions it should be perfect. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not cheap, but a good bit of kit and it works. *by P***S on 10 September 2016* I'm not sure Celestron aren't milking it a little with the separate autoguider, Be nice and would seem to make sense to combine them but I guess that's business and there may be technical reasons, perhaps.

I don’t think it worked from day one but it was very hard to be sure. I eventually managed to get it to connect to my computer which brought up an error fault and when I contacted Celestron they told me it was out of warranty but they could look at it and see if it was possible to repair. It wasn’t and now it sits reminding me to beware of making expensive purchases! ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 94005 StarSense Automatic Alignment Telescope Accessory, Black - Celestron 93973 Skyportal WiFi Module, Black - Celestron 93919 Aux Port Splitter, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/49014541-94005-starsense-automatic-alignment-telescope-accessory-black](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/49014541-94005-starsense-automatic-alignment-telescope-accessory-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
