With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes, you’ll be navigating the sky with confidence.

An ultra-stable altazimuth mount with full-height tripod anchors the telescope. Slip clutches and geared slow motion controls in both axes help you scan the sky smoothly, following objects with just a turn of the knobs. The entire kit weighs just 14.2 pounds.

Review: Fantastic and easy to handle telescope - As a long time (very) amateur astronomer I had been using a large Dobsonian. As my age and disability got the better of me I decided I needed something easier to handle. This Celestron DX130 AZ is perfect for me. It was easy to set up and get everything aligned. I can easily carry it to my car for some night-time viewing. Unfortunately I have only had a brief period of clear skies to try it out but a saw enough to know that it will be a great acquisition. The Star Sense phone app worked quickly and accurately and I was able to view Mars and a beautiful view of Jupiter and its moons before the cloud cover returned. This may not be the greatest telescope for a seasoned watcher but for a beginner or someone in my position it is an excellent choice. I am looking forward to some clear skies in the weeks to come and I may update this review once I have had a few sessions with it. First impressions though, are great.
Review: Perfect for beginners - Very good for beginner astronomers. I bought it for myself and my kids. I did A LOT of research before i purchased. I was close to buying the Celestron 102az, and I'm sure it would have been fine, but I am so glad i went with the StarSense explorer. I would not have known what I was looking at if I had another Telescope. Its excellent. Easy to use and very informative. Ive had good views of the moon in particular. Can also see Jupiter and its moons pretty clear. It’s easy to set up. Would recommend for beginners. You wont find better for the price. Trust me I did loads of research. Enjoy.
