127mm Dobsonian reflector with StarSense smartphone guidance, 1000mm focal length, 300× max magnification — ideal for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky observation without manual alignment.
Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 127AZ — Smartphone-Guided Dobsonian Telescope
The Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 127AZ is a 127mm aperture Dobsonian reflector telescope designed for beginner and intermediate astronomers who want a straightforward, alignment-free observing experience. Its StarSense technology uses a smartphone camera and real-time sky mapping to guide you to celestial objects without manual star-hopping.
127mm primary mirror gathers enough light for detailed views of the Moon, planets, and bright deep-sky objects
StarSense Explorer app transforms your smartphone into an intelligent alignment tool — no star charts or manual calibration needed
300× maximum magnification reveals lunar craters, Jupiter's bands, and Saturn's rings under good conditions
1000mm focal length with f/7.9 ratio provides sharp, high-contrast views ideal for lunar and planetary observation
Das zeichnet Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 127AZ aus
Unlike traditional telescopes that require polar alignment or star alignment procedures, the StarSense Explorer LT 127AZ uses a plate-solving algorithm that compares images captured by your phone's camera against its internal star database. This makes setup faster and more reliable, especially for users unfamiliar with the night sky. The Dobsonian base offers smooth, intuitive movement in altitude and azimuth.
Ideal für...
Amateur astronomers taking their first steps into deep-sky observing, as well as experienced stargazers who want a portable, low-maintenance telescope for casual sessions. The 127mm aperture strikes a practical balance between portability and light-gathering capability — large enough for meaningful planetary detail, compact enough for easy transport to dark-sky locations.

Celestron is a leading American manufacturer of telescopes and astronomical optics, founded in 1960 and headquartered in Torrance, California. The brand is widely recognised for its Schmidt-Cassegrain and Dobsonian telescopes, as well as its StarSense and NexStar product lines that bridge traditional optics with modern smartphone-assisted alignment technology.
The StarSense Explorer app uses your smartphone's camera to capture an image of the night sky, compares it against an internal star database, and guides you to align the telescope and locate celestial objects — no manual star-hopping or polar alignment required.
Yes. The 127mm aperture provides enough light grasp for satisfying views of the Moon, planets, and bright nebulae, while the StarSense alignment system removes the steep learning curve associated with traditional telescope setup.
The telescope supports up to 300× magnification using the included eyepieces. Under typical atmospheric conditions, 150–200× is the practical upper limit for sharp views of planetary detail.
Delivery includes the 127AZ Dobsonian base, 127mm primary mirror tube, 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, StarSense dock, and the StarSense Explorer app download instructions.
Celestron provides a 24-month manufacturer's warranty on the StarSense Explorer LT 127AZ, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
