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.

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.
