Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 80AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Refractor Telescope

Finding your way around the night sky feels far more immediate with the Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 80AZ, a beginner refractor telescope that combines an 80mm aperture with a 900mm focal length and a manual alt-azimuth mount. Its smartphone dock works with the StarSense Explorer app to guide the telescope to visible celestial objects, while the fully coated glass optics support bright, clear viewing.

The package also broadens its use beyond astronomy. A 90 erect image diagonal allows daytime viewing, and the supplied 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, together with a 2x Barlow lens, provide multiple magnification options. A slow-motion altitude adjustment knob helps with fine pointing and tracking, and the adjustable full-height tripod keeps the setup stable while remaining portable at 4. 17kg. Suitable for beginners, it also includes Celestron Starry Night Basic Edition software.
