Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about this beyond waiting for a clearer night to observe. As general rule, if you can't see many stars with your eyes, then conditions will likely not permit the camera to \"see\" enough stars, either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e It may not be dark enough out. You'll need to wait at least an hour after sunset for StarSense Explorer to be able to \"see\" enough stars to find its position. If you can't see many stars with your eyes, it is not dark enough yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003eThere may be a bright light source, like a streetlight, shining into the StarSense dock's mirror. To combat this, move to an area that is shielded from nearby lighting sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be something in the camera's field of view that is affecting the phone's ability to \"sense\" stars, such as power lines, trees, or the edge of a building. Try moving to an area with a clearer view of the night sky, without interference from anything on land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The Moon may be very bright in the night sky. The Moon's big, bright disc can blind StarSense Explorer so that it cannot locate objects near the Moon. To see if this is the problem, try selecting another object to view in a different part of the night sky. Also, keep in mind that any deep-sky objects will appear washed out when the Moon is bright in the night sky. The best nights to observe are when the Moon is in or near the New Moon phase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The camera may not be properly centered over the StarSense dock. If it is not properly centered, the dock will block the camera's view, preventing StarSense Explorer from \"sensing\" enough stars. Fix this by exiting StarSense mode and pressing the StarSense icon button. Then press the StarSense icon again to re-enter StarSense mode. Select \"Needs Alignment\" from the pop-up window and go through the camera alignment process again. Use the X-Y knobs on the StarSense dock to precisely center the smartphone camera over the dock's mirror. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The smartphone's camera may be picking up getting stray reflections off the back of your phone. This can occur with smartphones or smartphone cases with reflective, shiny metallic, or mirrored backings. Stray light near the observing site reflects off the back of the phone, into the mirror, and then into the camera. If this occurs, try placing the phone in a non-reflective case and be sure there are no nearby light sources that can reflect off the back of the smartphone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be dew on the StarSense dock's mirror. When the ambient outside temperature is close to the dew point for your location, dew may start to form on the mirror, preventing the smartphone's camera from seeing the sky.

Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about this beyond waiting for a clearer night to observe. As general rule, if you can't see many stars with your eyes, then conditions will likely not permit the camera to \"see\" enough stars, either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e It may not be dark enough out. You'll need to wait at least an hour after sunset for StarSense Explorer to be able to \"see\" enough stars to find its position. If you can't see many stars with your eyes, it is not dark enough yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003eThere may be a bright light source, like a streetlight, shining into the StarSense dock's mirror. To combat this, move to an area that is shielded from nearby lighting sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be something in the camera's field of view that is affecting the phone's ability to \"sense\" stars, such as power lines, trees, or the edge of a building. Try moving to an area with a clearer view of the night sky, without interference from anything on land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The Moon may be very bright in the night sky. The Moon's big, bright disc can blind StarSense Explorer so that it cannot locate objects near the Moon. To see if this is the problem, try selecting another object to view in a different part of the night sky. Also, keep in mind that any deep-sky objects will appear washed out when the Moon is bright in the night sky. The best nights to observe are when the Moon is in or near the New Moon phase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The camera may not be properly centered over the StarSense dock. If it is not properly centered, the dock will block the camera's view, preventing StarSense Explorer from \"sensing\" enough stars. Fix this by exiting StarSense mode and pressing the StarSense icon button. Then press the StarSense icon again to re-enter StarSense mode. Select \"Needs Alignment\" from the pop-up window and go through the camera alignment process again. Use the X-Y knobs on the StarSense dock to precisely center the smartphone camera over the dock's mirror. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The smartphone's camera may be picking up getting stray reflections off the back of your phone. This can occur with smartphones or smartphone cases with reflective, shiny metallic, or mirrored backings. Stray light near the observing site reflects off the back of the phone, into the mirror, and then into the camera. If this occurs, try placing the phone in a non-reflective case and be sure there are no nearby light sources that can reflect off the back of the smartphone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be dew on the StarSense dock's mirror. When the ambient outside temperature is close to the dew point for your location, dew may start to form on the mirror, preventing the smartphone's camera from seeing the sky. If this occurs, gently wipe the mirror surface with a clean tissue (without lotion!) or a soft cleaning cloth until the mirror is dry and free of dew. The reflective surface is on the underside of the mirror glass, so you cannot damage the reflective coatings from wiping or cleaning the mirror.

As you observe, listen to hundreds of audio descriptions and view detailed information about thousands of objects within the app’s robust database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Quality Altazimuth Base\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ultra-stable Dobsonian base provides a sturdy foundation for StarSense Explorer. It features large diameter altitude bearings with variable tensioning, Teflon azimuth bearings, and braces on the side panels for extra stability (unlike most 8” Dobsonian bases). The altitude bearings provide a smooth up-and-down motion while the integrated altitude \"brake\" system allows you to adjust the tension along the altitude axis for smoothest motion even with slight imbalances. The panning knob on the telescope tube provides an ergonomic grip so you can precisely point the telescope without introducing heat from your hands into the optical system. As celestial objects appear to drift across the night sky, you'll be able to easily follow them with minor adjustments to the telescope’s position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDazzling Views with High-Quality Optics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a large 8\" Newtonian reflector optical tube, this telescope has enough light-gathering ability to bring out impressive detail in celestial objects while remaining remarkably portable. You can expect sharp, bright views of Jupiter's four Galilean moons, its cloud bands and Great Red Spot, the rings of Saturn, the gaseous glow of the Orion Nebula, dust lanes in the Lagoon Nebula, and our neighbor galaxy, Andromeda. Compared to the StarSense Explorer DX 130 AZ, the 8\" Dobsonian has 240+% more light gathering area, providing better views of faint objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll mirror surfaces are coated with our XLT optical coatings to visibly increase contrast and light throughput for brighter views. With XLT, you'll be able to discern subtle details while viewing the Moon and planets, as well as faint galaxies and nebulae. The mirrors are made of low-expansion optical glass, which helps ensure the best images under changing environmental conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis telescope also comes with a high-quality 2” Crayford focuser. The Crayford design provides precise and smooth movements without focus shifting. It also includes a 2” to 1.25” adapter and a 2” extension tube, so you can use virtually any 1.25” or 2” telescope eyepiece with your StarSense Explorer Dobsonian. The focuser also features a thumbscrew so you can lock in the sharpest focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for the City or Dark Sky Sites\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if you live in a light-polluted city location, the Celestron StarSense Explorer 8” Dobsonian is advanced enough to easily pick out Jupiter, Saturn, open star clusters like the Pleiades, double stars like Alberio, the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, and more of the best and brightest celestial objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you can take the telescope to an even slightly darker location, more objects will become visible. With this 8\" Dobsonian and relatively dark skies, hundreds of fascinating objects are well within your reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransporting your StarSense Explorer Dobsonian is easy thanks to the ergonomic carry handles located at the balance point of the tube and base. Dust covers are also included for the front of the tube and the focuser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmartphone Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones; it is compatible with Android 12 and later, as well as iOS 18 and newer, including iPhone XR and newer models. Users with older phones can still use this app, but will not be able to reinstall the app if they uninstall it.

This large-aperture Celestron StarSense Explorer is ideal for serious beginners, thanks to the app's user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It's like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky. The large aperture will ensure that you won’t outgrow the telescope as you continue on in your astronomical adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDock, Launch, Explore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you'll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter aligning your phone to the telescope's optics (a quick and easy procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear on-screen, guiding you as you move the telescope. When the object is ready to view in the eyepiece, the bullseye turns green. As you observe, listen to hundreds of audio descriptions and view detailed information about thousands of objects within the app’s robust database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Quality Altazimuth Base\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ultra-stable Dobsonian base provides a sturdy foundation for StarSense Explorer. It features large diameter altitude bearings with variable tensioning, Teflon azimuth bearings, and braces on the side panels for extra stability (unlike most 10” Dobsonian bases). The altitude bearings provide a smooth up-and-down motion while the integrated altitude \"brake\" system allows you to adjust the tension along the altitude axis for smoothest motion even with slight imbalances. The panning knob on the telescope tube provides an ergonomic grip so you can precisely point the telescope without introducing heat from your hands into the optical system. As celestial objects appear to drift across the night sky, you'll be able to easily follow them with minor adjustments to the telescope’s position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDazzling Views with High-Quality Optics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a large 10\" Newtonian reflector optical tube, this telescope has enough light-gathering ability to bring out impressive detail in celestial objects while remaining remarkably portable. You can expect sharp, bright views of Jupiter's four Galilean moons, its cloud bands and Great Red Spot, the rings of Saturn, the gaseous glow of the Orion Nebula, dust lanes in the Lagoon Nebula, and our neighbor galaxy, Andromeda. Compared to the StarSense Explorer DX 130 AZ, the 10\" Dobsonian has 380+% more light gathering area, providing better views of faint objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll mirror surfaces are coated with our XLT optical coatings to visibly increase contrast and light throughput for brighter views. With XLT, you'll be able to discern subtle details while viewing the Moon and planets, as well as faint galaxies and nebulae. The mirrors are made of low-expansion optical glass, which helps ensure the best images under changing environmental conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis telescope also comes with a high-quality 2” Crayford focuser. The Crayford design provides precise and smooth movements without focus shifting. It also includes a 2” to 1.25” adapter and a 2” extension tube, so you can use virtually any 1.25” or 2” telescope eyepiece with your StarSense Explorer Dobsonian. The focuser also features a thumbscrew so you can lock in the sharpest focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for the City or Dark Sky Sites\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if you live in a light-polluted city location, the Celestron StarSense Explorer 10” Dobsonian is advanced enough to easily pick out Jupiter, Saturn, open star clusters like the Pleiades, double stars like Alberio, the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, and more of the best and brightest celestial objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you can take the telescope to an even slightly darker location, more objects will become visible. With this 10\" Dobsonian and relatively dark skies, hundreds of fascinating objects are well within your reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransporting your StarSense Explorer Dobsonian is easy thanks to the ergonomic carry handles located at the balance point of the tube and base. Dust covers are also included for the front of the tube and the focuser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmartphone Compatibility \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones; it is compatible with Android 12 and later, as well as iOS 18 and newer, including iPhone XR and newer models.

No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnhance Your Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep your phone charged all night while exploring with your StarSense Explorer by adding the PowerTank Glow 5000 to your must-have accessories (sold separately). This 2-in-1 accessory was made with the StarSense Explorer Dobs in mind, it has a red flashlight PLUS a USB power bank for charging mobile devices in the field. Connect the PowerTank Glow 5000 to the two posts at the front of the StarSense Explorer dock with the included bands so it is held in a convenient location for charging your smartphone while in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve the sharpest views faster, we recommend pairing the StarSense Explorer 10” Dobsonian with the USB Cooling Fan for Dobsonian Telescopes (sold separately). The fan cools the primary mirror to the ambient outdoor temperature faster, leaving you more time to observe. It mounts directly onto the rear cell of the Dobsonian and works with any USB power source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003ca

When it comes to tracking the stars with a telescope, there is nothing that compares to a German Equatorial Mount (GEM) because it will precisely follow objects as they rise in the east and set in the west. For observers, a GEM makes it easy to keep your celestial target in your eyepiece. For imagers, it helps you avoid common astrophotography pitfalls like field rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you can track an object, you need to find it, and that objective can be daunting when you’re faced with a vast expanse of inky black sky or a bright city sky. The iEXOS-100 puts a powerful GoTo system in your arsenal of astronomical tools that takes the frustration out of navigating the night sky. This integrated version of Explore Scientific’s PMC-Eight™ system transcends the industry standard single processor by utilizing an 8-core microcontroller with eight CPUs that operate independently of one another to focus on defined functions. This delegation of tasks among the processors results in a system that offers superior responsiveness, efficiency, reliability and astoundingly fast timing intervals for smooth image acquisition and accurate tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it is internally complex, the GoTo system can be easily operated from your own Apple, Android or Windows tablet using the ExploreStars app, which has an intuitive nature that makes it simple and quick to align your telescope, navigate the stars and learn specifics about tens of thousands of celestial objects. This dynamic app is fueled by a database that is routinely updated to ensure it remains a relevant resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur commitment to creating a streamlined GoTo mount is obvious in other design choices. The iEXOS-100 has smooth locking clutches that will let you quickly reposition your telescope from one side to the other and an altitude knob for smooth height adjustments. The mount base includes a small polar alignment tunnel that allows users to roughly align their observing setup with Polaris. It also has a simple bubble level that comes in handy when stabilizing your tripod.
