The Celestron StarSense Explorer 10" Dobsonian is a powerful mirror telescope with advanced technology that combines the power of the classic Dobsonian design with smart phone navigation. With a mirror diameter of 254 mm (10"), it captures up to 56% more light than the 8" model - and that means clearer detail in galaxies, nebulae and globular clusters, as well as stunning planetary views.
Thanks to the patented StarSense Explorer technology, navigating the sky is easy even for complete beginners - just put on your smartphone, launch the app and in no time you'll be looking at objects you'd otherwise spend a long time looking for.
Large main mirror 254 mm (10") - captures even very faint deep-sky objects
1200 mm (f/4.7) focal length - a great compromise between brightness and sharpness
StarSense Explorer technology - smartphone guidance (iOS/Android)
Free app with no need for Wi-Fi or GPS - navigation works offline
Robust Dobsonian mount with Teflon bearings - smooth and stable movement
Phone mount with integrated mirror - precise alignment with the real sky
