Are you bored with spending a lot of time aligning your scope to what you want to look at? Don\u2019t you wish there was a device that could align the scope for you so you can spend a bit more time sorting your eyepieces and making the most of clear skies?<\/p>\n
Your prayers have been answered in the Celestron Starsense! This nifty little gadget is compatible with Celestron scopes, and can offer you a really easy, hassle free way to view the night sky \u2013 and what\u2019s more, to instantly view what you most want to see!<\/p>\n
If you are umming and aahing about whether to invest, have a read about our experience with this clever piece of kit.<\/p>\n

In this kit you will receive the Starsense aligner itself, plus a mounting bracket, Celestron Starsense hand control (this replaces the SynScan hand control), a Celestron Starsense camera, a cable and an interface box.<\/p>\n
The interface plugs into the mount\u2019s hand control port, and the camera and hand control both plug into the interface box.<\/p>\n
The Starsense is ridiculously easy to use, so much so that we were genuinely surprised. So many gadgets purport to make life easier and to do exactly what they say on the tin, then fail to deliver\u2026<\/p>\n
This automatic aligner did exactly what it was meant to do, within minutes of being set up! All you need to do is input your coordinates to let the system know where in the world you are, then press \u201calign\u201d and it will do just that.<\/p>\n
Even for those who are suspicious of new technology and struggle to understand different systems, this automatic aligner will astonish you by how easy it is to set up and use.<\/p>\n
The accessories included are basic but functional, and relate solely to the use of the aligner. You won\u2019t be getting any useless freebies with this one!<\/p>\n
Each accessory is tailored to the aligner and makes using it possible. It is possible to use the Starsense without the handset, but the handset makes the whole experience easier and more convenient.<\/p>\n
This device has plug and play compatibility (you will need to check the listings for what it is compatible with.)<\/p>\n
The auto align camera is very well made and manufactured, so you should have no issues with it in a mechanical sense, and if you ever did need to return it you can be sure that this trusted manufacturer would replace it for you with no questions asked.<\/p>\n
It is stunningly fast to set up and use; just a few minutes before you can be out there gazing at the skies, without having to wait hours for system updates or to get the device working.<\/p>\n
This really is a fabulous addition to your astronomy arsenal. It makes stargazing so very simple, not having to faff about with alignments every time you get your scope out!<\/p>\n
If you are a bit of a purist who enjoys manual alignment, or if you live in a country which is clear skied all the time, you could save your money.<\/p>\n
For those of us who want to look at stars and planets rather than fiddle with equipment, or those who live in countries where cloud can pop up out of nowhere and ruin a viewing session before you\u2019ve even got fully set up, this is a revolutionary piece of kit.<\/p>\n
