Celestron StarSense Autoguider v2 94040
🌌 Celestron StarSense Autoguider - The future of automatic guidance in astronomy
The Celestron StarSense Autoguider is an all-in-one solution that transforms your astronomy experience, making using your telescope easier, more accurate and more rewarding than ever before. This powerful, compact device connects directly to your Celestron mount to provide accurate, automatic autoguiding, allowing you to capture long-exposure images with sharp stars without hassle.
Whether you're an experienced astrophotographer or just taking your first steps, this revolutionary accessory will ensure more quality time under the stars.
⭐ Automatic Alignment: Observe in minutes
Thanks to patented StarSense technology, the Autoguider aligns your telescope with the sky in about three minutes at the push of a button. It recognizes star patterns and compares them to its internal database to automatically orient the telescope, eliminating tedious manual alignment. You'll only have to worry about what's important: observing and photographing.
🎯 GoTo Precise: Objects always on center
The Celestron mounts are already known for their high precision, but with the StarSense Autoguider the performance goes up a notch. Instead of placing objects within the field of view, the system centers them directly, even with high-magnification eyepieces or the smallest image sensors.
Integrated autoguider: Astrophotography within everyone's reach
To capture deep-sky astrophotography, perfect guidance is required. Until now, this required a complex setup with guide camera, guide tube and computer. With StarSense Autoguider, all that additional equipment is replaced.
* Sharper and more detailed images
* Point stars without distortion or wakes
* Ease of use even for beginners
Assisted Polar Alignment: Accuracy without hassle
Although many users find that the system improves accuracy so much that they don't even need to align on equatorial mounts for casual observing, the autoguider makes the process as simple as possible for those seeking maximum accuracy.
With the NexStar+ controller or CPWI software, you can complete a polar alignment in less than five minutes by following simple on-screen instructions.
advanced 4-element optics
Designed by renowned optician Mark Ackermann, this system incorporates a unique 4-element tube design that delivers sharper images than other mini-guides.
* Compatible with 2" astronomical filters (IR-pass for twilight alignment or ND filters for daytime focusing).
* High-sensitivity Sony IMX462-DLL monochrome CMOS sensor.
* Integrated computer with possibility of live image display from PC.
🌙 New! Anti-fog shield included
Each unit now includes a dew shield that prevents condensation in humid conditions and protects against stray light.
⚙️ Advanced options for expert users
The StarSense Autoguider is not only easy to use, it also offers advanced features:
* Dithering for improved image processing.
* Direct comet guidance via CPWI and its up-to-date database of over 100,000 objects.
* Free firmware updates that add new features over time.
🔌 Flexible compatibility and control
Control your Autoguider the way you prefer:
* NexStar+ controller
* CPWI PC software
* SkyPortal App with SkySafari™ on WiFi enabled mounts
Compatible with most Celestron computerized mounts (both equatorial and altazimuthal).
⚠️ Important: The StarSense Autoguider is always connected to an AUX port on the mount, never to the autoguider port, as this may damage the device.
✅ Bottom line: more time under the stars, less hassle
The Celestron StarSense Autoguider is the ultimate tool for those seeking simplicity, precision and performance in astrophotography and observing. With its automatic guiding system, quick alignment and advanced options, it becomes a must-have accessory to get the most out of your telescope Celestron.
