Automatic alignment of Celestron Goto Telescopes in just three minutes, this techmology aligns your telescope for you accurately on the night skywith the built in starsense camera.With Celestrons patented StarSense Technology, telescope alignment has never been easier: set up your telescope, press Align on the StarSense hand control, and sit back and relax. StarSense uses an onboard digital camera to scan the sky and take three pictures. It then analyzes these pictures against an internal database (similar to fingerprint matching) and automatically aligns the telescope. The entire process takes about three minutes, and needs absolutely no user involvement.StarSense Autoalign uses its own StarSense hand control, which comes packaged with the StarSense Accessory. The StarSense hand control allows you to automatically locate and point your telescope to over 40,000 celestial objects contained in its database, along with a Sky Tour feature that automatically moves the telescope to the best astronomical objects currently visible at that time. Plus, the hand control also has a readout that provides you interesting facts and scientific data about the object you are viewing. Keep your StarSense up to date by downloading the latest firmware updates for your hand control.Communication Ports RS-232 communication port on hand control, Aux interface and USB on cameraComputer Hand Control Four line, 16 character backlit Liquid Crystal Display with 19 fiber optic backlit LED buttonsDatabase 40,000+ objectsCompatability list:NexStar SE SeriesCPC, CPC DXNexStar GT (with Aux. splitter)CGE ProAdvanced VXCG-5 (with Aux. splitter)CGEM, CGEM DX, CGEMIICGECGX, CGX-LNexStar SLTNexStar EvolutionLCM (with Aux. splitter)
Simplifies And Speeds Up The Alignment Process Firstly, prompt delivery from Harrison Telescopes that can't be faulted. The StarSense device itself is easy to install and calibrate. I don't have enough visible sky to fully autoalign when in my backyard, but a single star alignment means goto and tracking functions of telescope work. (15/11/2023) Ian - Cumbria

Great product to compliment the Nexstar telescope Thanks Harrison for a good website showing live stock despite lockdown high turnover. Item purchased online,delivered by DPD next day. I prefer to use DPD as the deliveries are consistent. This makes the 8se a great goto setup. Found the stars come into alignment very accurately.Very happy all round (24/01/2021) WAYNE - Somerset
Excellent Product - Straight Forward Set Up Bought the Starsense to complement my Advanced VX mount and C6S. Easy to install, straightforward to set up and update with CFM. Seeing on first night of use was pretty poor but it still managed to find enough alignment stars to allow a calibration to my scope. Really happy with my purchase from HT (15/08/2020) Mark C - Notrth Yorkshire
Love this I was struggling with alignment way too often so I thought this would help. It really does. About 5 minutes in, it’s all ready to roll and I use the app to search and align. Well worth the investment! (25/04/2020) Rich - Bracknell
Celestron StarSense Accessory This has been a very welcome item to my bits and pieces and really takes a few minutes to get up and running. Only problems have been caused by human error but after a few uses everything is now spot on. Update was available on Celestron website and that went without a hitch. Excellent service.
