Once calibrated, the StarSense Explorer app displays a real-time view of the night sky on your smartphone screen. Select a desired celestial object from the app's database. An arrow will appear on the screen, guiding you to manually move the telescope towards the target.

2. Locating Celestial Objects

Follow the directional arrows on your smartphone screen. As you move the telescope, the arrow will change from red to green when you are aligned with the target. Use the altitude and azimuth fine adjustment handles on the DX mount for smooth, precise movements to center the object.

The included 10mm and 25mm eyepieces offer different magnifications suitable for various objects, from the Moon's craters to star clusters and nebulae. Additional eyepieces (sold separately) can provide even higher magnifications.
