Telescope with a 5-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube allowing real-time observation of the night sky via a smartphone screen (not included). Equipped with a StarPointer (red dot) finder, 125mm diameter main mirror and 1250mm focal length .
All optical surfaces have been coated with StarBright XLT coatings to increase contrast and light transmission. This allows you to see even the most subtle details when viewing the Moon and other planets, as well as galaxies or nebulae.
To observe the sky with a smartphone, place it in a dedicated mount and launch the StarSense Explorer app using LISA's sky recognition technology, which analyzes star patterns and calculates the telescope' s position. Once the user selects an object of interest, arrows leading to it appear on the smartphone screen, allowing the user to quickly and easily locate celestial bodies.
The stability of the telescope is ensured by a robust azimuthal mount, and precise knobs guarantee smooth movement of the telescope.
The set includes:
- Explorer DX 5" SCT telescope,
- 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces,
- 90° (1.25") angle cap,
- StarPointer finder,
- phone docking station.
