About this product
[Easy astronomical observation with a smartphone and a dedicated app] Install the dedicated app "StarSense Explorer" on your smartphone. Furthermore, by aligning the position of the smartphone, the camera lens, and the mirror on the mounting part, the app automatically calculates the position information from the image of the star taken by the camera. After that, select the celestial body you want to see, and the arrow that guides you to the target celestial body will be displayed on the smartphone screen.
Manually move the lens barrel according to the direction of the arrow, and when the aim changes from red to green, installation is complete. If you look into the eyepiece, you can see the target celestial body there. Also, if you tap the "star" mark on the application screen, observable celestial bodies will be displayed at that time.
[130mm Reflective Lens Cylinder] Equipped with a reflecting lens barrel with a diameter of 130 mm and a focal length of 650 mm. You can obtain bright, high-resolution images with a large aperture. Two types of eyepieces (26x and 65x) are included. Its large aperture and low to medium magnification make it suitable for observing expansive nebulae such as the Pleiades and Orion Nebula. You can also enjoy the craters of the planet and the moon with the separately sold eyepieces that can produce high magnification.
[Easy-to-use DX type altazimuth mount] The DX type altazimuth mount, which is an upper mount for StarSense Explorer, is used. The altitude / azimuth fine movement handle makes it very smooth when fine-tuning the orientation of the telescope. In addition, the CG-5 standard plate holder (Vixen compatible) that allows one-touch attachment and detachment of the lens barrel is adopted, and installation and removal can be performed very quickly.
