Under the Milky Way
Whether your kids are back in class or still Zooming from home, the learning doesn't end when the sun goes down. With this smart telescope your family can navigate the stars like Picard.
The Celestron StarSense Telescope is aimed at the new astronomer, young and old. Thanks to the companion smartphone app, even my five-year-old can find stars and nebulae like a pro. There's no need to worry about the complexities of declination, inclination, and azimuth, the Celestron app handles all that for you. Once assembled and calibrated, you simply mount your phone in the cradle, which points your phone's camera down at a mirror. That allows Celestron's app to scan the sky while your phone shows you a map of the stars. Pick a celestial object in the app and you'll get arrows telling you which way to point the telescope. Once you're in the right general area, you can use the slow-motion adjusters to fine tune the position until you have the star you want in view.
