It comes with a simple Alt-Az rocker mount. The design was created by John Dobson to create an easy way to do sidewalk astronomy. While the mount doesn't track objects, the StarSense system provides an easy way to find objects and keep them in view. That being said the only reason to use a tripod would be to do Deep Space long exposure photography and there are better options than this scope. But if you are really heart set on doing this you would need a mount that could handle the ~40 lbs of equipment (scope, camera, guide scope etc...). Something like the Skywatcher EQ6R-Pro at a minimum, but probably something meant for upto 70+ lbs of equipment like the EQ8R. **Q: does the scope have a clock drive?** A: No, no clock drive. **Q: Can this be used for astrophotography?** A: See my photo of the Orion Nebula. That's about as good as it will get with this scope. Without a tracking mount it does not work very well. Getting a tracking mount that will handle this 10 inch OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) is net to impossible. **Q: One question: judging from the size and arrangement it might be a difficult reach for my grandkids. Any thoughts?** A: The eyepiece is about 3 feet off the ground. And varies depending on where it's pointed. It should be quite convenient. A step stool might help for comfort. I often use some kind of chair, stool or rug to make it more comfortable to use the eyepiece ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron–StarSense Explorer 10-inch Dobsonian Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope – Works with StarSense App to Help You Find Nebulae, Planets & More –10-inch DOB Telescope – iPhone/Android Compatible - Celestron 14 Piece Telescope Accessory Kit - Plossl Eyepieces, Barlow Lens, Colored Filters, Moon Filter, and Sturdy Carry Case - Celestron USB Cooling Fan for Dobsonian Telescopes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/441289215-celestron-starsense-explorer-10-app-enabled-dobsonian-telescope-large-10](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/441289215-celestron-starsense-explorer-10-app-enabled-dobsonian-telescope-large-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
