StarSense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the app’s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky. Dock, Launch, Explore: Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps and computerized mounts behind. With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you’ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope’s optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, guiding you as you move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green. StarSense Explorer is compatible with: Android - The minimum supported operating system is Android 12 and iOS - The minimum supported operating system is iOS 18. The minimum supported iPhone models are iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max. Review: A nice beginner telescope - Nice telescope for beginners and easy to figure out Review: Great but arrived with a broken laser sight - Ordered this as an upgrade for our avid stargazer Son. He loves it! Instructions clear and well built - took around 20 minutes to complete the assembly. One small problem. The laser sight was damaged so we need to organise a replacement. These things happen I suppose. ## Features - SMARTPHONE GUIDED TOUR: Unleash the power of your smartphone to take you on a guided tour of the night sky—no telescope experience required - STARSENSE TECHNOLOGY: Award-winning and patented StarSense sky recognition technology uses your smartphone to analyze star patterns overhead and calculate their position in real time - EXPLORER APP: Automatically generates a list of objects currently visible; View planets, brighter nebulae and galaxies, star clusters, and double stars from the city; Or take your telescope to darker skies to view faint, deep sky objects - MANUAL MOUNT: Manual altazimuth mount with altitude slow motion adjustment with a sliding rod makes it easy to follow the on-screen arrows to your desired target; When the bullseye turns green, it’s ready to view in the telescope’s eyepiece - QUALITY OPTICS: 70mm refractor with fully coated glass optics for bright, sharp views; Includes 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, 2x Barlow Lens, StarSense smartphone dock, erect image diagonal, a red dot finderscope, and a full-height tripod ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B088PPBC5Z | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,756 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 9 in Telescopes | | Box Contents | Optical tube, Mount and tripod (preassembled), 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, Erect image diagonal, 2x Barlow Lens, StarPointer finderscope, Accessory tray and StarSense Explorer phone dock | | Brand | Celestron | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Coating | Coated" or "Coated | | Compatible Devices | iOS/Android | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 2,292 Reviews | | Dawes Limit | 1.66 Arc Sec | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 0.1 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Plossl | | Eye piece lens description | Plossl | | Field Of View | 1.35 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 700 mm millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234224505 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 87D x 23.5W x 33.7H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Telescopes | | Item Weight | 3.35 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | c22450 | | Model Name | Celestron Astromaster LT70 | | Model Number | c22450 | | Model name | Celestron Astromaster LT70 | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Number of Batteries | 1 CR2032 batteries required. | | Objective Lens Diameter | 70 Millimetres | | Objective lens diameter | 70 Millimetres | | Optical tube length | 812 Millimetres | | Optical-Tube Length | 812 Millimetres | | Power Source | manual winding | | Product Features | Patented StarSense technology for easy sky navigation with smartphone app | | Telescope mount description | Altazimuth Mount | | UPC | 050234224505 050234220682 | | Zoom Ratio | [APPROX] 2.5:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Model name:** Celestron Astromaster LT70 - **Optical tube length:** 812 Millimetres - **Eye piece lens description:** Plossl - **Objective lens diameter:** 70 Millimetres - **Telescope mount description:** Altazimuth Mount - **Product dimensions:** 87D x 23.5W x 33.7H centimetres - **Focus type:** Manual Focus - **Power source:** manual winding - **Finderscope:** Reflex ## Images ![Celestron 22450 StarSense Explorer LT 70AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – iOS/Android Compatible - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41zPQQDzlQL.jpg) ![Celestron 22450 StarSense Explorer LT 70AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – iOS/Android Compatible - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41oSMzrwn0L.jpg) ![Celestron 22450 StarSense Explorer LT 70AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – iOS/Android Compatible - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41mLhlSxXtL.jpg) ![Celestron 22450 StarSense Explorer LT 70AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – iOS/Android Compatible - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Nj9DamxIL.jpg) ![Celestron 22450 StarSense Explorer LT 70AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Stars, Planets & More – iOS/Android Compatible - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UXbXFOJ7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it come with a carrycase ?** A: No, the telescope and mount do not come with a carry case. **Q: Can I use this telescope during daylight.
