Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian Reflector Telescope

Finding your way around the night sky feels far more intuitive with the Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ, a beginner-friendly Newtonian reflector telescope that pairs a 114mm aperture with a 1000mm focal length and a manual alt-azimuth mount. Its app-enabled StarSense dock works with compatible smartphones to help guide the telescope towards visible celestial objects, bringing a more direct and approachable way to start observing.

The LT 114AZ combines a simple manual mount with a slow-motion altitude adjustment knob for finer tracking, while the full-height tripod provides a stable base for setup. Supplied with 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, plus a 2x Barlow lens, it offers a practical range of viewing options straight away. A StarPointer red dot finderscope is also included for daytime alignment or use without the app, and Celestron Starry Night Basic Edition software completes the package.
