Celestron StarSense AutoAlign Accessory for Automatic Alignment

Celestron StarSense AutoAlign Accessory for Automatic Alignment
List Price : $518.00
Price : $329.95
Code : B00AZDDDC4
* Special discount only for limited time



Product Feature


  • Enables automatic alignment of your Celestron computerized telescope
  • No need to identify or locate any star in the sky
  • Aligns in 3 minutes or less
  • Provides advanced mount modeling
  • StarSense hand controller included

Product Description


The revolutionary technology in the award-winning SkyProdigy telescope is now available for almost every Celestron computerized telescope.   Before StarSense, using a computerized telescope required a lengthy alignment process of finding and centering at least two bright stars in the telescope’s eyepiece. But StarSense automatically aligns itself, no user input needed. With StarSense, you become an instant astronomer—even if you’ve never used a telescope before.   StarSense is not only compatible with all of Celestron’s current computerized telescope models, but backwards compatible with many older models as well. (See compatibility list below.)   The StarSense Accessory includes a small digital camera that attaches to the telescope’s optical tube, along with a specialized hand controller. Just set up the accessory, push the Align button on the hand controller, and StarSense starts capturing and comparing images of the night sky against its internal database of 40,000 celestial objects. In about three minutes, StarSense will gather enough information to triangulate its position and align itself. Then, press the Sky Tour button: StarSense will automatically slew to all the best stars, planets, galaxies, and more based on your exact time and location.   Even the most advanced telescope users will love using the affordable StarSense Accessory. StarSense replaces expensive software used for Advanced Mount Modeling, providing superior pointing accuracy from horizon to horizon. Users can add as many calibration stars as desired to give their telescope mount a new level of accuracy.   Compatibility List NexStar SE Series CPC, CPC DX NexStar GPS Series CGE Pro Advanced VX CG-5 CGEM, CGEM DX CGE NexStar SLT (with Aux Splitter) LCM (with Aux Splitter) Enables automatic alignment of your Celestron computerized telescope. No need to identify or locate any star in the sky. Aligns in 3 minutes or less.

2Be thankful it is not in stock.
By Stew57
The Starsense is not ready for prime time yet. The firmware is being updated a lot and is still not working. The ASPA function does not work. The unit is not as accurate as a 2+4 alignment if it doesn't lock up on you doing an auto align. If you do a manual align and want accuracy, you will have to do a calibrate center. After doing this calibration you are required to go through an alignment again. I thought this was supposed to save time. Do yourself a favor and wait for Celestron to finish the beta testing and get it working before purchase.

Seems it is those with a GEM having the most problems at the moment. Beta firmware is making a lot of progress. Still wait is my advice. The device has a lot of promise just not yet finished.

Edit;
With latest firmware updates the SSA has a slightly better pointing accuracy than a 2+4 alignment. Recalibration for removal and reinstallation of the SSA is still needed for greatest accuracy but is not mandatory for the unit to align, it just won't point as accurate as it can. Celestron is working hard on fixing the problems. When the ASPA is fixed and the auto align function no longer locks up it is a solid 4 stars.

4Celestron C5 spotting scope
By T Chan
I recieved this spotting scope one month ago. Even thought it is made in China (the price already implied that), the quality of the 5" optical tube is very good. The XLT coating is perfect and the focus knob is very smooth and precise. The package comes with a 6x30 erect image finder scope and a 25mm eye piece. The 25mm eye piece contributes 48X image good enough for a bright shape image for terrestial observation. The high light gathering power is excellent for me to observe the night view of Victory Harbour of Hong Kong! Simply replace with a 10mm eyepiece and you can use it as a 125X telescope to observe deep sky and the moon in great details. The image of the moon is simply impressive!

This C5 is absolutely portable and easily mounted on a tripod for birds watching and photography. Remember to use a stable tripod. It is also recommended to use high quality eye piece to match with the excellent optics!

5Good Quality Image and Solid Instrument
By WBS77
The light-gathering capability of the C5 is exactly what I hoped for in a spotting scope. Able to see considerable detail even at high magnification. Appears to be very solidly constructed. Does require a VERY stable tripod -- don't skimp there. Separately purchased adapter allows simple connection to my digital SLR with good pictures resulting. Carrying case is designed to provide excellent protection.

Works well for what I wanted: looking over the surrounding scenic and marine landscapes. I have not yet tried it for astronomical observation. May be so obvious that there's no need to say it but it's too powerful and too bulky to be useful for watching wildlife -- unless they are sleeping. Or, maybe, a tired sloth. :-)

5ALL AROUND SCOPE

This is the telescope they sent on shuttle missions , build is soild the glass and coatings are very good ... The scope is by far the best I have used in the fact you can look at the stars and moon at night in great detail with a scope of this size , buy a nice lens , 20mm is good to start with , do not use cheap glass lens with this scope ... nice size scope to carry around with you and set up easy for a star party ... At daytime its great also as a spot scope and with a DSLR oh my the pixes I took though it with my canon 20d , day and night with this scope ... good all around scope for the money .

5Great first telescope!!!

Fantastic first telescope. Pretty much good to go when you take it out of the package. The sky simulation app. that is provided on a cd is a great help for charting out the night sky.

4Nice telescope
By Berny
I paid few dolars for this product with the Accessory kit, the finder is very useful to view the object that you want to see, I saw, the M42 small but I can saw, a lot of stars and the best was jupiter with 4 moons, is a little ball but, with a little 4 points, I am very happy with the firstscope, in this momment, the moon is impossible to see, but, I really want to see our moon

5Great buy for a beginner
By Vivek Nanda
The moon just looks amazing. Don't get your expectations high for the planets. Overall it is a great value for the money if you want to start off your kid, or indeed yourself, into astronomy.

5List price is bogus but I like the scope
By John S. Dean
I have a 9 year old son who has been getting into things having to do with space. I've been contemplating a scope for a while now, but wanted something simple for him to be able to pick and choose what he'd like to see on his own. So clearly I had to get a computerized and motorized scope. I had been looking into some nice dobs, but since I didn't know how long his interest would last, I didn't want to spend a lot of money for the scope, since it may end up sitting in a room somewhere most of the time if his interest wanes. So I grabbed this on a gold box offer, about 33% off the "real" price - their list price here I've never seen it go for, even on the Celestron website where it's only a couple bucks more than here.

With Amazon Prime, I got it in two days. But then it sat for a few weeks waiting for a night without rain or clouds. Tonight was finally it, kind of. A nearly full moon, but a lot of wispy clouds up there after sunset, giving me only about 15 stars to reference my location from. Toss on top of that the cold temps meant I wanted to stay home, not drag my poor son out somewhere farther in the country away from this much ambient light so we were left on my back patio, with my house blocking about 30% of the available sky. Between being in my back yard in a suburban neighborhood, lots of ambient light, neighbors with back patio lights on, and the clouds, I didn't even tell him I was setting it up out there because I fully expected it to not be able to determine its location. I got it in place, powered it up (I hate the battery pack, more about that later), and told it to figure out where it was. I came back inside to warm up and watch some TV with him while it whirred away out there. A couple minutes later I went out there and watched the controller, where it talked about what percentage of that part of the sky it finished scanning, and at one point I saw it say "not enough stars." I thought, "Yep, I figured as much." And I was ready to cart it back in, but it kept going. I guess that message meant that one part it tried to reference didn't have enough stars, so it went to another portion of the sky. All told, even with all the clouds, it took it less than 4 minutes to figure out where it was. Just the fact that it said it was ready was impressive, so I thought let's see how it actually does. The moon is nearly full, not too far over the roof of my neighbors house, so I grabbed the controller and told it to go to the moon.

Now, I had not read the instructions, so that's a good sign that this system is pretty easy to use and very intuitive for the controls. There's also a "Back" button that makes things almost like traversing directories in a computer. You get to a point in the control menu, then just hit "back" to go up one level. So when I was doing "solar system" and wanted to then try "deep space" I couldn't just hit Deep Space while at Solar System, I had to hit "back" first. Easy enough once you work it out.

So I said "Moon" and it moved itself there. Wasn't quite spot on, but the moon was in the field of view so that was a win for me. I was using the lower power eyepiece at first, so the moon only filled up about 60 or 70 percent of it. Nice and crisp though. Got my son out, and he thought it was the coolest thing. I then swapped out to the high power eyepiece, and I was VERY surprised. The field of view could not even cover the whole moon, just part of it, it was so large. As I said, it was not QUITE a full moon, and I was amazed when I looked at the edge, the magnification was so much, and it was so clear, that I could see the edges of craters against the edge like mountains, with the black of space behind them. The clarity of the craters was just mind numbing, and seeing them like that rising above the edge of the disc like mountains was just something I hadn't expected from such a relatively small and inexpensive scope. And there are better eyepieces you can buy for this still, so I'm looking forward to seeing just what this baby can do.

With the cloud cover, I couldn't get at the deep space objects, or even most of the stars. But with the surprising magnification of the moon, I'm getting more power than I had anticipated, so I'll be happy when the skies clear. I already know I'm not going to see Neptune as some large body like the moon, I just want to see some of the things I can.

The motor noise is noticeable, but not annoying. Slight whirr/click as it tracks objects for you as well.

The base is surprisingly steady, and includes a level. It has the typical mostly useless "shelf" under the scope.

Now, the battery pack is a piece of junk. Totally useless, and the first thing I'm going to try to find a better alternative for. It's just this poorly formed plastic junk that holds all the D cell batteries in it, and it's not even shaped well enough to let them TOUCH the contacts at the positive end on two spots because the springs aren't even tough enough to push the batteries up against them vs. the slight tension from the unit as a whole on the batteries. Toss on top of that there's no place designed to hold the battery pack. You can place it on the little shelf but then you're not going to be using it for anything else... Best thing I found so far was to take the little loop on the bag and hang it over the autofinder barrel that does the star sensing when it's powered up. But even then as the scope traverses it bumps against the tops of the tripod legs. Horrible design.

Focus knobs move very smoothly though, and are geared well so there's some fine focusing available.

As long as you realize you won't see Pluto other than a faint light, and that the things you see from the Hubble aren't the same things you'll see from here, this is a surprisingly good scope, especially if you want to skip the part that's half the fun for regular astronomers, finding things yourself. The fact that even in the most sub-optimal conditions, my back yard, neighbors with lights on, clouds, yet it still found where it was quickly, was enough for me to realize this was going to be a good buy.

5On sale it is a great deal!
By nine44
Living in the consumer electronics age, it is extrememly difficult to get kids to patiently wait for Dad to fiddle with the telescope for hours in order to see an interesting feature of the night sky. This is a great way to get them hooked early. Put it outside and flip the switch and it aligns itself. From there, you simply select the object you want to see. Orion's Nebula? Done. Jupiter and its moons? Done. It works really well!

Once your kid sees what they can't see with their naked eyes, they are likely to get hooked on this hobby--along with developing a deeper understanding of the sky, of telescopes and of astronomy in general. But if your kid's first experience is frustrating and boring--they're not likely to give it a second go.

Personally, I would not pay $500 for this telescope though the skysense technology really works well. The scope that is included is pretty good--and for what I paid, I am very happy ($229). I can use this mount with more capable telescopes that I have. I don't want to talk too much trash about the included scope--it's preety good for a starter--but $500, skysense or no skysense, is a little steep.

Nonetheless--the closest thing out there to this is Meade's 6" Cassegrain on the Light Switch mount for something like $1500. It's a better scope on a much sturdier tripod. But if your goal is to hook your kids on astronomy without blowing their inheritance this is the current cheapest, simplest solution out there.

5Easiest Scope to Use
By Donald W. Spain
A joy to set up. Easily aligned itself with no input for me, other than just a rough leveling. Goes to the object you pick on the handset and tracks perfectly.
