CELESTRON LCM114-AZ Professional Astronomical Telescope 114mm Aperture GoTo Mount Reflector with Tripod

LCM114-AZ Professional Astronomical Telescope 114mm Aperture GoTo Mount Reflector with Tripod for CELESTRON

Features:
- 114mm large caliber, Clear observation and good imaging effect.
- Multi layer coating for high-definition imaging with high light transmittance.
- Toothed focusing seat for more accurate and smooth focusing.
- Fine adjustment of the theodolite rod for stable and quick adjustment of direction.
- The StarSense phone holder supports most smartphones.
- The metal tripod is more stable and lightweight, making it more stable and comfortable to observe. The tripod can be retracted and adjusted.
- It can be connected to a computer (need additional electronic eyepiece, which is not included) and DSLR (need adapter ring, which is not included).

For StarSense System:
- Download for StarSense Explorer app from the Google Play (for Android) store or App Store (for iPhone).
- Place an smartphone (for Android or iPhone) in the included StarSense Explorer dock.
- 2-minute procedure to align the phone with the telescope.
- App generates a list of celestial objects currently visible.
- Select the object to view and arrows appear onscreen, guiding the user as they move the telescope.
- When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green.
- The StarSense app utilizes a "Lost in Space Algorithm" (LISA) to accurately calculate the current location and orientation by using the phone's GPS data, gyroscopic input, and camera to map the night sky and compare it to the app's database to accurately align and orient the scope and determine what is visible overhead.
- App is self-contained; no cell signal required for use far off the grid.

Compatible Smartphones:
- For Android 7.1.2 and higher manufactured in 2016 and later, with camera, gyro, and accelerometer
- For iPhone 6 and newer

Optical Tube Assembly:
- Large 114mm f/9 aperture to view the moon, planets, stars, globular clusters, and other bright deep-space objects.
- Long 1000mm focal length produces a high magnification potential for a variety of applications.
- Newtonian reflector optical design provides a large clear aperture without the restrictions on size experienced by refractor designs.
- Highly reflective aluminum-coated mirrors improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrast.
- Secondary mirror obstruction: 44mm (1.73"); 38% by diameter, 14% by area.
- Resolution: 1.22 arcsec, Rayleigh; 1.02 arcsec, Dawes.
- Reliable single-speed rack-and-pinion focuser.
- Standard 1.25" holder accepts the most common size eyepieces and accessories, including the two eyepieces and Barlow lens in this kit.

Mount and Tripod:
- Manual alt-azimuth mount design is simple to set up and move by hand.
- Control handle provides a precise way to move and track objects with reduced vibration.
- Simple and sturdy yoke mounting offers stability and reduced vibration.
- Adjustable-height aluminum tripod accommodates a variety of users and observing positions.
- Center tray holds accessories such as eyepieces and filters.

Included Accessories:
- 25mm eyepiece produces a low 40x power for observing the moon, planets, deep-sky objects, and constellations
- 10mm high-magnification eyepiece yields 100x power for detailed views of the lunar surface and planetary features
- -2x Barlow lens effectively doubles the magnification of any 1.25" eyepiece installed on it without affecting eye relief, making it more comfortable to view at high power
- Unmagnified StarPointer finderscope places a simple red dot in the field of view to make alignment and star hopping navigation faster and easier.

APP Instruction:
Step 1: Install the phone and open the StarSense Explorer app.


Step 2: Follow simple instructions to automatically generate a list of observable celestial objects in the night sky in just a few seconds.


Step 3: Select a target from the list and follow the arrow on the screen pointing to the target object.


StarSense Explorer also performs live positioning as you move the telescope. When the bullseye turns green, the target can be viewed in the eyepiece.


Everything is ready, start observing! Special reminder: you can use StarSense Explorer anywhere in the world without a cell phone signal!
