It uses your phone’s camera and sensors to analyze star patterns and guide you effortlessly to celestial objects via an intuitive app. Equipped with a manual altazimuth mount and multi-coated optics, this telescope offers bright, clear views of planets, star clusters, and deep-sky objects. Ideal for beginners and urban stargazers, it comes with eyepieces, a Barlow lens, tripod, and phone dock for a complete, ready-to-use astronomy experience. ## Description Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with StarSense Explorer—the first telescope that uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real time. StarSense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the app’s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky. Dock, Launch, Explore Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you’ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope’s optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, guiding you as you to move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green. Smartphone Compatibility StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016. Patented StarSense Sky Recognition Technology StarSense Explorer uses patented technology and your smartphone to determine exactly where the telescope is pointed in the night sky. A Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to correctly orient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database. While other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone’s gyros and accelerometers, which aren’t as accurate as LISA technology. No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece. ## Features - Unleash the power of your smartphone to take you on a guided tour of the night sky—no telescope experience required. - Award-winning and patented StarSense sky recognition technology uses your smartphone to analyze star patterns overhead and calculate its position in real time. - StarSense Explorer app automatically generates a list of objects currently visible. View planets, brighter nebulae and galaxies, star clusters, and double stars from the city. Or take your telescope to darker skies to view faint, deep sky objects. - Manual altazimuth mount with altitude slow motion adjustment with a sliding rod makes it easy to follow the on-screen arrows to your desired target. When the bullseye turns green, it’s ready to view in the telescope’s eyepiece. - 114mm (4.5”) Newtonian reflector with highly reflective coatings and enough light gathering ability to view all the best celestial objects. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083JQBC1G | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,764 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #3 in Telescope Reflectors | | Box Contents | Optical tube, Mount and tripod (preassembled), 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, 2x Barlow Lens, StarPointer finderscope, Accessory tray and StarSense Explorer phone dock | | Brand | Celestron | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Coating | Multi-Coated | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,433 Reviews | | Dawes Limit | 1.02 Arc Sec | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 5.7 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Kellner | | Field Of View | 2.04 Degrees | | Finderscope | Straight-Through | | Focal Length Description | 1000 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Importer Contact Information | Inter Foto India Pvt Ltd | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 96D x 132W x 83H Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Telescope | | Item Weight | 4.72 kg | | Manufacturer | Celestron, Celestron LLC | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Celestron LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 22452 | | Model Name | StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ | | Model Number | 22452 | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Metal batteries required. | | Objective Lens Diameter | 114 Millimeters | | Optical Tube Length | 610 Millimeters | | Optical-Tube Length | 610 Millimeters | | Packer Contact Information | Celestron LLC | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Features | Unleash the power of your smartphone to take you on a guided tour of the night sky | | Telescope Mount Description | Altazimuth Mount | | UPC | 050234224529 | | Unit Count | 1 Piece | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Warranty | | Zoom Ratio | 175 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Eye Piece Lens Description:** Kellner - **Model Name:** StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 114 Millimeters - **Optical Tube Length:** 610 Millimeters ## Images ![Celestron – StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – 114mm Newtonian Reflector - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LZrId7FvL.jpg) ![Celestron – StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – 114mm Newtonian Reflector - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bBgKsbjTL.jpg) ![Celestron – StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – 114mm Newtonian Reflector - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ypqBkriQL.jpg) ![Celestron – StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – 114mm Newtonian Reflector - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ofxmHubTL.jpg) ![Celestron – StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – 114mm Newtonian Reflector - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61H+q75oJVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can we see galaxy,nebula,etc.with this telescope** A: No. Only the moon can be viewed clearly. **Q: Can we see bright nebulas and bright star clusters wit this?** A: Yes, suitable for these object **Q: Aperture of this?** A: 114MM & Focal 1000mm **Q: Can i attach dslr camera?** A: yes you can connect your dslr but need some separate accessories (T Adapter 1.25" + T Ring your dslr mount) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***E on 2 November 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 17 January 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***K on 24 February 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 22452 StarSense Explore LT114AZ Newtonian Reflector Telescope with Smartphone App-Enabled Technology - Includes Two Eyepieces, 2X Barlow Lens, Phone Dock and Height-Adjustable Tripod, Black - National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Night Sky, 2nd Edition (National Geographic Backyard Guides) - 50 Things To See With A Telescope - Kids: A Constellation Focused Approach --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart?
