A TOUR GUIDE

ƾIt’s an irresistible propo-

sition for amateur astrono-

mers and other stargazers:

Get the capabilities of a

professional observatory in

a telescope that costs less

than $500. Simply down-

load the Starsense Explorer

app to your smartphone,

open it, and mount your

device to the telescope’s

dock. Your synced-up

phone then displays a ren-

dered, augmented reality

version of what’s in the

YLHZɿQGHUDQGWKHV\VWHPŠV

AI-powered “sky recogni-

WLRQŤFDSDELOLW\LGHQWLɿHV

constellations and stars

in real-time, offering ad-

ditional information about

them from an interactive

database. The app will also

generate a list of currently

viewable stars and help you

point the telescope at them.

Best of all, this telescope

doesn’t require a wireless

connection, so you can

stargaze wherever night

skies are clearest—often

the middle of nowhere.
