Strongly recommend for beginner 100% . ### ⭐⭐⭐ I expected more from StarSense Explorer *by D***A on 29 July 2025* the most frustrating thing for those of us who are new is not being able to locate objects easily, that's why the StarSense Explore app seemed like the solution, but it fell far short of my expectations, the app if you configure it well moves with your telescope, and shows you the area to look at with a point, however it is not precise and your manual movement needs to be very exact, the tripod is not 100% stable so it is difficult for the telescope to stay in the same point without moving .. honestly I prefer a thousand times more the Sky Watcher Heritage 150, much cheaper, and download an app and move it manually, unfortunately this telescope is not available on amazon ... well, if you have doubts about falling into the same frustration, I recommend a GoTo Wireless telescope, 100% integration with the app and locate objects automatically .. they are a little more expensive but really worth it, and some are on sale. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 22461 StarSense Explore DX 130 Newtonian Reflector Telescope with Smartphone App-Enabled Technology - Includes Two Eyepieces, Phone Dock and Height-Adjustable Tripod, Black - Celestron Omni 1.25" 2X Barlow Lens, Multi, Model Number: 93326 - Celestron – Telescope Moon Filter – Eyepiece Accessory – Reduces Moon Glare and Enhances Lunar Crater Details – Great for Full Moon Observing – Works with Any Telescope That Accepts 1.25" Eyepieces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/262148170-celestron-22461-starsense-explore-dx-130-newtonian-reflector-telescope-smartphone](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/262148170-celestron-22461-starsense-explore-dx-130-newtonian-reflector-telescope-smartphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
