The Celestron StarSense Explorer 130 mm Dobsonian Telescope brings a smarter way to explore the night sky. This innovative telescope pairs a 130 mm (5.1 inch) parabolic mirror with Celestron’s StarSense technology that uses your smartphone to analyse star patterns and calculate exactly where the telescope is pointed in real time. You don’t need complicated star charts or separate alignment routines. Just dock your phone, launch the app and let the guiding arrows show you exactly where to move the telescope to find targets.
 
With its large 130 mm aperture, this Dobsonian offers bright, high-contrast views of the Moon, planets and a variety of deep sky objects. You can enjoy crisp lunar details, watch Saturn’s rings, resolve Jupiter’s cloud bands and explore open clusters and bright nebulae with satisfying clarity. The parabolic mirror and quality optics deliver strong light gathering, making subtle features easier to see compared to smaller telescopes.
 
The sturdy Dobsonian base makes setup simple and stable, while smooth altitude and azimuth motion lets you track objects naturally by hand. This model is perfect for beginners who want accessible, guided sky exploration, and for intermediate observers who want more deep sky power without the complexity of computerized mounts.
Whether you are observing from a balcony in the city or taking it to a darker site, the StarSense Explorer 130 mm Dobsonian is designed to make stargazing intuitive, engaging and rewarding.
