The Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ is a 130-mm (5.1-inch) Newtonian reflector with a focal ratio of F/5 and focal length of 650 mm, making it a fast telescope suited to low-power viewing of celestial objects. This groundbreaking telescope uses your smartphone with the StarSense Explorer app to analyze the night sky in real time and calculate the telescope's position, allowing you to align your phone to the telescope's optics in a quick, 2-minute procedure before StarSense generates a list of currently visible celestial objects. The ultra-stable altazimuth mount features slip clutches and geared slow motion controls in both axes to help you move the telescope smoothly and follow celestial objects as they drift across the night sky. The light-gathering aperture makes it ideal for observing a selection of galaxies, nebulas, planets and star clusters.
