Description

StarSense technology was innovated by Celestron's engineers, allowing a Celestron computerized telescope to automatically align itself with the night sky. It's never been easier to locate celestial objects. Now, this technology can be ported to a computerized Sky-Watcher mount with this new Interface Box, further expanding the number of scopes that can take advantage of StarSense's revolutionary auto alignment!

How it works: StarSense camera and hand control both plug into the Interface Box and the Interface Box plugs into the mount's hand control port. In minutes your SkyWatcher mount is aligned and you are off to the stars

Aurora ★★★★★

Was skeptical about "no need to know the sky," but it's true—I just pressed align and it locked on. The auto-centering caught faint targets I'd never find manually. A game-changer for lazy backyard sessions.

Julian ★★★★★

Setup took about 10 minutes and I didn't have to look at a single star chart. The auto-alignment accuracy is spot on my first object.

Julian ★★★★★

I was skeptical, but after the first use it found alignment in under two minutes without me touching a star chart. Finally, no more fiddling with the hand controller in the dark.
