With any one of three connection methods from your PC to the mount, CPWI’s telescope control and Sky Viewer display makes selecting your target easy. You can find all your favorite deep sky objects in CPWI’s extensive object database. For even more choices, we’ve linked CPWI to the online SIMBAD astronomical database, which contains more than 10 million celestial objects! Celestron’s SkyPortal module is a small dongle that plugs into an available AUX port on a Celestron

The Celestron StarSense AutoAlign device is an accessory for Celestron telescope mounts that automatically aligns itself with the night sky. It uses an internal camera to capture an image of the stars in the sky, and analyze it to identify the stars in the image. Not compatible with #93648 Off-Axis Guider, not compatible with #93519 2" Mirror Diagonal (discontinued) No, StarSense does not contain an internal GPS and does not rely on GPS for alignment, so there is no need for an external GPS accessory. Once the Zygo test report has been completed, the optical alignment is thoroughly tested and tuned to ensure they are spot on before they leave us. together to automatically align a telescope and mount to the night sky. The camera mounts on top of theBecome an instant astronomer, even if you?ve never used a telescope before, with the one-of-a-kind StarSense AutoAlign. Just set up the accessory, push the Align button on the hand control, and StarSense begins capturing and comparing images of the night sky against its internal database. In about three minutes, it's gathered 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 currently visible in the night sky.

If you want the StarSense Auto-align function, by all means, consider it. You get that combined with a guide camera (the old StarSense cam was only for alignment). The auto align function works and works well. HOWEVER... 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 with minimal user input. Just enter your time, date, and location and let StarSense do the rest! The SkyPortal module and app also work with the Celestron StarSense module to control the telescope. With the As you progress in the hobby of astroimaging, turn your alt-azimuth mount into equatorial setup by adding theWedge for NexStar Evolution. This accessory will enable you to achieve longer exposures for more detailed astrophotos. The NexStar Evolution mount also features a built-in lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery with enough power for 10-hour astroimaging sessions.Note that some Celestron telescope such as the NexStar Evolution and AstroFi models already have WiFi built An internet connection is required for online Location settings, object info, the online object database, or to auto-update drivers for the cable connections mentioned above. and newer with AUX splitter), CG-5 (with AUX splitter), Astro Fi, NexStar Evolution, CGE, CGE Pro, NexStar
