Celestron’s Smartphone App-Enabled StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Telescope falls to low of $150

Amazon is now offering the Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope for $149.99 shipped. Normally going for $230, this 35% discount, or solid $80 price drop marks a new all-time low and is among the first substantial discounts to date. This deal is matched over at B&H today only as part of its DealZone. The StarSense lineup of telescopes from Celestron aims to simplify the experience of observing the night sky with your phone being used to guide you to targets using the StarSense Explorer app. For those who like more specific details, this telescope uses a primary 114mm f/9 mirror with a focal length of 1000mm for observing deep-sky objects with the manual alt-azimuth mount supporting the telescope, plus you get a 25mm eyepiece which is best for DSOs, planets, and the moon, and a 10mm eyepiece which is best for detailed views of the Lunar surface and planetary details. I have used this StarSense system before and can say it works surprisingly well. Head below for more.
