Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ Review

I recently had the pleasure of testing out the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ Telescope. This telescope has been a game changer in the astronomy community, offering users an easy to use telescope with advanced technology that helps locate objects in the night sky. As a professional product reviewer who has tested a lot of products, I can say that this telescope exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to get into astronomy.

Who is this product for? The Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ Telescope is designed for people of all ages and experience levels. It has tools such as the StarSense Smartphone Dock, which makes it easy for beginners to learn how to use the telescope without having prior knowledge or experience. Additionally, its 90 degree erect image diagonal makes it great for both terrestrial and astronomical viewing, making it suitable for anyone who wants to explore the night sky or take photos of other objects on Earth.

What are some of the features? The Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ Telescope comes with a 102mm refractor optical tube and two 1.25 Kellner eyepieces 25mm and 10mm . It also has an altazimuth mount with slow motion control rod, red dot finderscope, full height tripod, accessory tray, and original box. The most impressive feature is its award winning and patent pending StarSense sky recognition technology, which uses your smartphone to analyze star patterns overhead and calculate its position in real time. With this technology you can easily locate objects in the night sky without needing to know any astronomy terms or concepts.

Pros: One of my favorite things about the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ Telescope is how easy it is to use. Even if you have no prior knowledge or experience with telescopes, you can quickly learn how to use it thanks to its intuitive design. Additionally, its advanced Sky Recognition Technology makes it much easier to locate objects in the night sky compared to other telescopes on the market. Finally, its portability makes it perfect for taking on camping trips or hikes so you can enjoy stargazing wherever you go.

Cons: The only downside I could find was that some of its features such as the Red Dot Finderscope might be too basic for experienced astronomers who are used to more complex tools. Additionally, I found that its altazimuth mount wasn t as sturdy as other mounts out there but this isn t necessarily a deal breaker since most amateur astronomers won t likely be using their telescope heavily anyway.

Overall Impression: All in all, I think that the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ Telescope is an excellent choice for anyone looking to get into astronomy or upgrade their current telescope collection. Its intuitive design makes it great for beginners while still offering enough features and advanced technology to satisfy experienced astronomers as well. I would highly recommend this telescope if you re looking for something that offers great value at an affordable price point!
