The Celestron StarSense is an innovation revolutionizing the way you experience astronomy, making it more accessible than ever before.

Before the advent of StarSense, aligning a computerized telescope was a time-consuming task that required manually finding and centering at least two bright stars through the eyepiece. With StarSense, that complex process is a thing of the past. The StarSense AutoAlign system automatically performs the alignment for you—no manual input required. This means you can become an instant astronomer, regardless of your previous experience with telescopes.

StarSense is designed for versatility and convenience. It’s compatible with all of Celestron's current computerized telescope models and is also backward-compatible with many older models. To find out if your telescope is compatible, please refer to the compatibility list below.

The StarSense Accessory kit includes a compact digital camera that attaches to your telescope's optical tube and a specialized hand controller. Simply set up the accessory, press the Align button on the hand controller, and StarSense will get to work. It captures and analyzes images of the night sky, comparing them against an extensive internal database of 40,000 celestial objects. In approximately three minutes, StarSense gathers enough data to accurately triangulate its position and complete the alignment process. 

Once aligned, you can press the Sky Tour button, and StarSense will automatically direct your telescope to a curated selection of the best stars, planets, galaxies, and other celestial objects based on your exact time and location. 

Even seasoned astronomers will appreciate the StarSense AutoAlign for its advanced capabilities. It replaces expensive software used for Advanced Mount Modeling, delivering exceptional pointing accuracy across the entire sky. Additionally, users have the option to add extra calibration stars, enhancing the precision of their Celestron telescope mount to new heights.

With Celestron StarSense AutoAlign, exploring the universe has never been easier or more accurate.
