A telescope with a 5-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube that allows observation of the night sky via a smartphone screen (not included) in real time. Equipped with a StarPointer finder (red dot), a primary mirror with a diameter of 125 mm and a focal length of 1250 mm.
All optical surfaces are coated with StarBright XLT coatings that increase contrast and light transmission. This makes it possible to notice even the most subtle details when viewing the Moon and other planets, as well as galaxies or nebulae.
To observe the sky using a smartphone, place it in the dedicated holder and launch the StarSense Explorer app, which uses LISA sky recognition technology to analyze star patterns and calculate the telescope's position. After selecting the object of interest, arrows appear on the smartphone screen to guide the user to it, allowing quick and easy location of celestial bodies.
The telescope's stability is ensured by a solid alt-azimuth mount, and the precise knobs guarantee smooth movement.
The set includes:
- Explorer DX 5" SCT telescope,
- 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces,
- 90° diagonal (1.25"),
- StarPointer finder,
- phone dock.
