Comprehensive Beginner Telescope with Smartphone Integration

The Celestron StarSense Explorer 114AZ combines the power of a 114 mm Dobsonian telescope with the intelligence of modern technology. Its smartphone dock and included StarSense App turn your phone into an interactive star map — guiding you to planets, star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae with pinpoint accuracy. It’s the ideal tool for anyone new to astronomy who wants an effortless way to discover the universe.

Strong Optics for Bright, Clear Views

With a 114 mm (4.5-inch) aperture and Dobsonian mount, this telescope gathers plenty of light for sharp, bright views of the Moon, planets like Jupiter and Saturn, and a variety of deep-sky objects. Its design makes deep-sky observation and planetary viewing simple, detailed, and enjoyable even under light-polluted skies.

Smartphone Dock & StarSense App for Easy Navigation

The built-in smartphone dock holds your device securely, while the StarSense app uses GPS and your location to create a real-time sky map. Just follow the crosshairs to any object you choose — no manual star charts required. This intuitive system reduces the learning curve dramatically for beginners.

Compact, Tablet-Style Dobsonian Mount

Unlike large, complicated scopes, the 114AZ features a compact, tabletop Dobsonian mount that’s easy to set up and portable enough to bring outdoors without hassle. The simple altitude-azimuth mount makes it easy to pan and tilt smoothly for tracking celestial objects.

Easy Setup & Use — Perfect for Beginners & Families

No tools required: the telescope assembles quickly out of the box. With the app guiding you, beginners can start stargazing within minutes. Its sturdy build and forgiving design make it ideal for kids, families, or anyone curious about astronomy.

Ideal Gift for Aspiring Stargazers

Whether you’re buying it for yourself or as a gift for a young astronomer, the StarSense Explorer 114AZ is an excellent introduction to the night sky. Its mix of powerful optics, smart tech, portability, and ease of use makes it perfect for first-time telescope owners.
