Celestron StarSense Overview

Celestron improves your Sky-Watcher mount with their StarSense AutoAlign system by utilizing the StarSense camera to take an image of the star field and comparing it against the 45,000+ object database in the StarSense controller to quickly and accurately align the scope. The StarSense camera and hand control both plug into the included Interface Box, which then plugs into the mount's hand control port. This system is plug-and-play compatible with select Sky-Watcher mounts so you can install it quickly and get observing even faster.

Designed with a similar database as Sky-Watcher's SynScan so you won't have to sacrifice database usability, the StarSense hand controller contains more than 45,000 objects, including the complete Messier, Caldwell, NGC, and IC catalogs; plus user-defined objects. You can add additional stars into its pointing model which will improve pointing accuracy, and it also has Solar System align and variable tracking speeds. Three auxiliary ports support optional accessories such as a GPS unit to expand your telescope's capabilities.

Celestron StarSense Reviews

Works great with the Skywatcher EQ6-R

By Robert

I bought this and it works great with my new mount, the Skywatcher EQ6-R. It has been dead on the last 3 times I set it up! Haven't figured out how to get it working hooked up to the computer for remote operation yet but it works great as a stand alone.

Recommended purchase and worth the money.

Reasonably easy to set-up, although the manual is lacking some finer detail (i.e. start telescope at 0 degrees horizontal). Most of the correct instructions appear on the handset. Works like a charm when aligning and takes probably less than 3 minutes (previously took me at least half an hour). It takes some time to set-up (I have not been able to get the fine calibration to work perfectly), but once it's done, it is so easy to use. I have limited viewing so setting it up with the manual align and then to use these settings helps a lot. Really worthwhile to purchase - now I can use my telescope. Recommended purchase and worth the money.
