The Celestron StarSense Explorer Range of telescopes is a relatively new innovation that lies between a manual mount and a computerised go-to mount. With your phone in the dock, and using the proprietary app, the telescope can help you find objects in the night sky, and even show you objects you may not know about.

The Celestron StarSense Explorer range runs from small refractors LT 70AZ and LT 80AZ, small reflector LT 114AZ, medium refractor DX 102AZ, medium reflectors LT127AZ and DX 130AZ, up to two Schmidt-Cassegrains, the DX 5" and DX 6" models.

Bill, Optics Central's astrophotographer, unboxes the LT 70AZ, the smallest of the StarSense Explorer range, assembles it and shows you how to calibrate the phone.

Finally, he takes the scope out and demonstrates how the app actually works at night, finding a couple of objects in the Southern Hemisphere's sky.
