## Overview

It pairs a powerful 130mm Newtonian reflector with an intuitive app that guides users to the best celestial objects in real time.

## Description

Celestron’s StarSense Explorer 130AZ is the first telescope that uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real time, making stargazing easier than ever. Perfect for beginners, this app-enabled telescope lets you dock your phone, launch the app, and follow on-screen arrows to planets, stars, galaxies, and more. Unlike other astronomy apps that rely solely on gyroscopes, StarSense uses patented sky recognition technology and a Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA)—like the sophisticated location systems used by satellites—to deliver accurate, real-time guidance. Simply align your phone with the telescope optics, and within minutes, you’ll be exploring with confidence. The app automatically generates a list of the best objects to view based on your exact time and location. Choose one and navigate there by following the on-screen arrows. When the bullseye turns green, your target is ready in the eyepiece. The high-quality 130mm Newtonian reflector with highly reflective coatings provides bright, detailed views of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and deep-sky favorites like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. The tabletop base is compact, lightweight, and easy to transport, making it perfect for travel. The base’s low profile makes accessing the eyepiece easier for some observers (especially children). Includes two eyepieces (10mm and 25mm), a red dot finderscope, and a StarSense smartphone dock. StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones; it is compatible with Android 12 and later, as well as iOS 18 and newer, including iPhone XR and newer models.

Review: Great beginner scope and StarSense makes finding things a breeze , as well the red dot scope is an easy alignment to the OTA
Review: Tolles Einsteigermodell! Ich bereue den Kauf nicht! Die StarSense Technologie macht es wirklich einfach Objekte zu finden. Selbst für Anfänger. Beim einstellen am besten erst mit dem 25mm Okular und erst danach mit dem 10mm arbeiten. Nach dem 3. Versuch konnte ich dann Jupiter und 4 seiner Monde und sogar einige Wolkenbänder sehen. Einfach fantastisch!

*by A***R on 7 January 2026*

The 130mm optics give clear, sharp views of the Moon, planets and brighter deep-sky objects, and the StarSense app makes finding targets incredibly easy for beginners. Setup is quick and the Dobsonian mount is solid, though in hindsight I should have bought a tripod version — that one’s on me, not the scope. Overall, a brilliant bit of kit that’s fun, intuitive and very capable for casual stargazing
