Celestron StarSense Autoguider
Autoguiding made simple. Sharp imaging made effortless.
The StarSense Autoguider is a compact, all-in-one accessory that transforms your Celestron mount into a powerful astrophotography platform. Whether you're new to imaging or an experienced user, this tool streamlines setup and maximises accuracy for crisp, long-exposure results.
Key Features
Fast & Automatic Alignment
Achieve accurate alignment in about 3 minutes with the push of a button—no manual input required. StarSense recognises star patterns and orients your telescope automatically.
Precise GoTo Accuracy
Takes GoTo performance to the next level by placing targets directly in the centre of the field, even with high-power eyepieces or small sensors.
📷 Integrated Autoguiding
No need for separate cameras, guidescopes, or laptops. StarSense makes autoguiding accessible and effective—even for beginners. Enjoy pinpoint stars and sharp deep-sky captures with minimal effort.
Assisted Polar Alignment
Streamlined polar alignment via CPWI or hand control takes less than five minutes. Accuracy improves dramatically—even casual setups may not need polar alignment for basic imaging.
