Le StarSense Explorer DX 5″ transforme votre smartphone as interactive sky guide.
Even without any experience, you can explore planets, the Moon, star clusters and
nebulae in just a few minutes.

Thanks to patented StarSense, the telescope automatically analyzes the stars

The frame alt-azimuth manual with slow movements on two axes
allows you to easily follow the arrows displayed on your smartphone.
When the circle turns green, the object is centered: all you have to do is look through the eyepiece!

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Qu'est-ce qu'on peut voir avec le Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 5″ ?

La Lune en détail, les planètes (bandes et lunes de Jupiter, anneaux de Saturne) et, sous un ciel sombre, les amas et nébuleuses les plus brillants comme la nébuleuse d'Orion. Son grossissement utile maximal est d'environ 250× (2 × le diamètre en mm) ; en pratique, la turbulence de l'atmosphère impose souvent de rester en dessous.

Which eyepieces are included, and what are their magnifications?

Two eyepieces are included: 25 mm and 10 mm. With a focal length of 1,250 mm, they provide 50× and 125× magnification. To calculate the magnification of an eyepiece, divide the telescope’s focal length by that of the eyepiece.

Is it easy to carry?

Le tube pèse environ 2,26 kg pour environ 33 cm de long et le trépied environ 4,4 kg.

Should we aim it at him?

Rarely. The optics are adjusted at the factory; from time to time, a star test is sufficient: point the telescope at a bright star, defocus it slightly, and the rings should be perfectly concentric. If necessary, adjustments can be made using the screws on the secondary mirror.

Can we take pictures?

The included smartphone adapter lets you take souvenir photos of the Moon and the planets—but that's all. Deep-sky photography isn't possible: the mount doesn't track the sky's movement.

What's in the box?
