Celestron StarSense Explorer 150mm Smartphone App-Enabled Tabletop Dobsonian Telescope

Finding your way around the night sky feels far more immediate with the Celestron StarSense Explorer 150mm, a beginner-friendly Newtonian reflector telescope that pairs a 150mm aperture with a 750mm focal length on a tabletop Dobsonian mount. Its app-enabled StarSense Explorer technology uses your smartphone to analyse the sky in real time, helping you locate visible objects with on-screen guidance rather than relying on printed star charts or a computerised mount.

The larger 150mm aperture gathers enough light for detailed views of the Moon, planets, bright nebulae, galaxies and star clusters, while the parabolic main mirror supports clear, bright observation. A compact tabletop base keeps the setup portable and easy to position, with Teflon bearings for smooth movement in azimuth and elevation, an integrated altitude brake for tension adjustment, and an ergonomic panning knob for controlled tracking. Tube rings allow the optical tube to be rotated for a more comfortable focuser position, and carry handles make it easier to move to your observing spot.
