 Download StarSense Explorer app from the Google Play (Android) store or App Store (iPhone)

 Place an Android smartphone or iPhone in the included StarSense Explorer dock

 2-minute procedure to align the phone with the telescope

 App generates a list of celestial objects currently visible

 Select the object to view and arrows appear onscreen, guiding the user as they move the telescope

 When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green

 The StarSense app utilizes a "Lost in Space Algorithm" (LISA) to accurately calculate the current location and orientation by using the phone's GPS data, gyroscopic input, and camera to map the night sky and compare it to the app's database to accurately align and orient the scope and determine what is visible overhead

 App is self-contained; no cell signal required for use far off the grid

 Android 7.1.2 and higher manufactured in 2016 and later, with camera, gyro, and accelerometeriPhone 6 and newer

 Large 114mm f/9 aperture to view the moon, planets, stars, globular clusters, and other bright deep-space objects

 Long 1000mm focal length produces a high magnification potential for a variety of applications

 Newtonian reflector optical design provides a large clear aperture without the restrictions on size experienced by refractor designs

 Highly reflective aluminium-coated mirrors improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrast

 Secondary mirror obstruction: 44mm (1.73"); 38% by diameter, 14% by area

 Resolution: 1.22 arcsec, Rayleigh; 1.02 arcsec, Dawes

 Reliable single-speed rack-and-pinion focuser

 Standard 1.25" holder accepts the most common size eyepieces and accessories, including the two eyepieces and Barlow lens in this kit

 Manual alt-azimuth mount design is simple to set up and move by hand

 Control handle provides a precise way to move and track objects with reduced vibration

 Simple and sturdy yoke mounting offers stability and reduced vibration

 Adjustable-height aluminium tripod accommodates a variety of users and observing positions

 Maximum height of 52" (132cm) including mount

 The Center tray holds accessories such as eyepieces and filters

 25mm eyepiece produces a low 40x power for observing the moon, planets, deep-sky objects, and constellations

 10mm high-magnification eyepiece yields 100x power for detailed views of the lunar surface and planetary features

 2x Barlow lens effectively doubles the magnification of any 1.25" eyepiece installed on it without affecting eye relief, making it more comfortable to view at high power

 Unmagnified StarPointer finderscope places a simple red dot in the field of view to make alignment and star-hopping navigation faster and easier
