The Celestron StarSense Explorer 8" Dobsonian is the first Dobsonian telescope that uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real-time, combining a large 8" Newtonian reflector optical tube with enough light-gathering ability to bring out impressive detail in celestial objects while remaining remarkably portable. This large-aperture telescope is ideal for serious beginners, thanks to the app's user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. With XLT optical coatings, you'll be able to discern subtle details while viewing the Moon and planets, as well as faint galaxies and nebulae.
