Smart system with StarSense technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the innovative StarSense dock<\/strong> and the smart app knows exactly where your telescope is pointed. The app uses plate solving<\/em>, a technique also used in professional observatories. Arrows appear on the screen of your smartphone, leading you step by step to the desired object. Once the arrows disappear and a green visor appears, the object is perfectly in focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special mirror in the holder works with your smartphone's camera to recognize star patterns. Thanks to the X-Y adjustment knobs<\/strong> fits virtually any phone (even with case) in the holder. Within three easy steps, you're done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Place your smartphone in the cradle<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Launch the app<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Follow the arrows and observe<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The app also tells you what you see - educational and fun for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
