The Celestron StarSense Autoguider is a revolutionary, compact device that enhances the functionality of your telescope, making it simpler and more enjoyable to use. This all-in-one system connects to your Celestron mount, improving pointing accuracy and simplifying the process of capturing sharp, long-exposure astroimages. It's an ideal addition for both seasoned astrophotographers and beginners.

Autoguiding Simplified: Traditionally, autoguiding required a complex setup involving separate cameras, guidescopes, and computers. The StarSense Autoguider streamlines this process, replacing all these components. It allows for precise adjustments to your mount's tracking, ensuring your celestial targets are sharp and detailed while maintaining the background stars as crisp pinpoints.

Versatile Control Options: You can control the StarSense Autoguider using various methods, including the NexStar+ hand controller, CPWI telescope control software via a wired PC connection, or WiFi for mounts equipped with WiFi capability or using the SkyPortal WiFi Module accessory. The device integrates seamlessly with your existing Celestron accessories, offering a cohesive experience with your telescope setup.

Enhanced Accuracy and Ease-of-Use: For many users, the StarSense Autoguider's improved accuracy eliminates the need for polar alignment with German equatorial mounts for casual observing and imaging. However, for those seeking the highest accuracy, it significantly simplifies the polar alignment process, allowing you to complete it in under five minutes through on-screen instructions.

Compatibility: The StarSense Autoguider is compatible with most current Celestron computerized mounts, including German equatorial and altazimuth mounts. Check the compatibility section for detailed compatibility information.

Automatic Alignment and Precise GoTo: The device aligns your telescope with the night sky in about three minutes at the press of a button, requiring no user input. Celestron's patented StarSense technology automatically orients the telescope by matching star patterns with its internal database. The Precise GoTo function accurately centers celestial objects in your field of view.

Optical Design and Sensor Technology: The StarSense Autoguider boasts a high-quality, 4-element optical design by Mark Ackermann, delivering sharper images. It includes a Sony IMX290-DLL monochrome CMOS image sensor and an onboard computer, providing exceptional guiding accuracy. The optical tube is threaded to accept 2" astronomical filters, enhancing its versatility for different observing conditions.

In summary, the Celestron StarSense Autoguider transforms your telescope experience with its advanced technology, ease of use, and compatibility, making it a must-have for enhancing your celestial explorations.
