The Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ transforms how you explore the night sky by pairing proven optics with the StarSense Explorer app. Instead of learning complicated star charts or slowly aligning a telescope, you simply place your smartphone in the StarSense dock, launch the free app and let it analyse the stars overhead. The app uses your phone’s camera to recognise star patterns in real time and guide you to celestial objects with intuitive on-screen arrows.
 
This 102 mm refractor delivers bright, clear views of the Moon’s craters, the rings of Saturn, Jupiter and its moons, and many deep sky objects such as nebulae and star clusters when skies are clear. The alt azimuth mount with smooth manual motion makes it easy to pan around the sky by hand as the app points you to each target.
 
The package includes a StarSense Code card that lets you unlock the full StarSense experience on up to five devices. Once you enter the code in the StarSense app, you get access to detailed object information, guided navigation and automatic target selection based on your time and location - perfect for beginners and anyone who wants a smart, guided observing session.
 
Everything you need to start observing is included: eyepieces for different magnifications, a star diagonal for comfortable viewing, a sturdy tripod and the StarSense smartphone dock. Setup is quick, and you can be exploring planets, nebulae and clusters within minutes. Whether you’re observing from a balcony or taking it to a darker sky site, this telescope makes stargazing simple, interactive and rewarding.
