Hey all, I realize that this tech is not new but it was a blast to use, especially this summer. If you have any other telescope related stuff you would like to see let me know.
I'll tell you why your starsense doesn't work all the time: look exactly a 2:54 and 3:14 — your mirror is quite dirty. Clean them mirrors!
Detailed information
No se puede alinear el telescopio con la app en el día?
5:32 you are expected to look out your window.
Hi, Sir I'm beginner but I like to buy telescope one time, I'm planning to buy 10" Star Scan Dobsonian, is good for me
btw, not all telescopes have an upside down image – only reflectors do. Refractors and CAT scopes have a reversed (mirror image) right side up.
So the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ Refractor will have a right side up mirror image. It will not be upside down.
Should you buy additional Lens for the DX 130?
did you ensure they were both colimated before use?
Celestron needs to do something about all those clouds. 😉
I have the newest iPhone pro Max I’m assuming I’m in good graces with the phone’s camera in regards to this telescope ?
Just wondering if the fact that your phone had no cell service (NO SIM @ 5:11) and I assume only using wifi made a difference in the phone not communicating with Starsense databases ?
Nice review. I'm not sure that the app ever sinks with the telescope as you said. I think you align your phone to the telescope, then your phone takes pictures which the app can 'plate-match' to its database of the night-sky and hence know where your [aligned] scope must be pointing. Sounds like the app had trouble interpreting the pictures your phone took. I would be interesting to know if there are any recommended phone-camera settings. E.g. presumable your phone needs to be focused on infiinity for most objects.
3:15 how it scan when cant see many stars on sky with eyes only one that i think its saturnus or jupiter wanted buy telescope last year bcoz i see mars atleast it says on every starmap it is funny did not see any other stars mayby vega. just want buy telescope so i can corfirm is my turtle eyes see to saturn and jupiter LOL but every video bout quality suck LOL
The app confused me I need help how to use it and how to find stuff.
this is the best and clear review for LT114 AZ review i found so far. i m also a very beginner and trying to find my very first telescope. looks like i m gonna go with LT 114 then. thx for the great (unfortunately rather short) review.
I sneer at smartphone fetishism and screens everywhere but if that's what it takes to get millennials and zoomers into astronomy, great. Bravo Celestron!
Nooooo jajaja… complained about the application because it came out and it was cloudy !!!
Moreover, I think that if it does not match it is because it is a mobile phone it does not do its job well, advice change the mobile, try other models, Samsung, Xiaomi, etc.
Can you see Saturn /Jupiter clearly on this telescope ?
Are mini telescopes any good ? Can you use see any planets?
Is there any way to add to your phone to turn into telescope without buying a buying an actual telescope?
Hopefully I can spot a ufo.
