Celestron 94005 StarSense Automatic Alignment Telescope Accessory - Black

Product Information

When using mounts with the standard Celestron hand controllers, simply plug in the GPS accessory to the port To get started with the StarSense AutoAlign process, you’ll want to have your telescope mount roughly polar aligned with the celestial pole. You can now take the camera’s dust cap off so it can begin taking images of the night sky. Excellent service from Harrison Telescopes What an amazing product. Makes life so easy.

A WiFi signal if you are using a WiFi-enabled telescope or connecting via the SkyPortal WiFi Module #93973The device works with most of the computerized telescope mounts in Celestron’s line-up. The StarSense can be mounted to all of Celestron’s Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes and Edge HD’s. Here is the complete list of StarSense compatible mounts:

Now, switch to a high-power eyepiece (or use the crosshair aid in your imaging software) to perfectly center the star When you first start using your StarSense camera, you will need to calibrate it to the center of your telescope’s field of view. This only needs to be done once, and you should do it after your initial auto star-alignment routine.

Yet, there is something I can appreciate about an ingenious device that automates this pivotal process and saves me hours of time in the long run. Before StarSense, using a computerized telescope required a lengthy alignment process of finding and centering at least two bright stars in the telescope’s eyepiece. But StarSense automatically aligns itself with minimal user input. Just enter your time, date, and location and let StarSense do the rest! As you progress in the hobby of astroimaging, turn your alt-azimuth mount into equatorial setup by adding theWedge for NexStar Evolution. This accessory will enable you to achieve longer exposures for more detailed astrophotos. The NexStar Evolution mount also features a built-in lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery with enough power for 10-hour astroimaging sessions. I used the older StarSense Auto-align for some years. And you know what? While the StarSense worked well, it came to be more of a hassle than a help since I was using Sharpcap and a guide camera for polar alignment. Remove the guide camera/scope I used for polar alignment with Sharpcap. Replace it with the StarSense camera, then let StarSense align the scope. Yeah, it works right well, but it's in no way faster than the old-fashioned Two-Star. And the old Two-Star gave me something to do while waiting for it to get dark enough for serious observing. So, that's what I am using again. The SkyPortal module and app also work with the Celestron StarSense module to control the telescope. With the

and newer with AUX splitter), CG-5 (with AUX splitter), Astro Fi, NexStar Evolution, CGE, CGE Pro, NexStar OP (blinking wasn't an option, or I would have used that too): How are you aligning now? How good is your alignment? Give actual numbers such as "typically within the field of an eyepiece having a 20 minute true field of view, and usually near the middle third". CPWI employs PointXP mount modeling, which accepts numerous star alignment points for superior pointing accuracy. PointXP (the same technology found in our StarSense AutoAlign accessory) goes beyond the pointing capability of a traditional hand control. By adding multiple star alignment points, CPWI accounts for various types of alignment errors, including instrument flexure. The result is the best possible pointing accuracy for your Celestron telescope. Not compatible with #93648 Off-Axis Guider, not compatible with #93519 2" Mirror Diagonal (discontinued)

Telescope Mount Compatibility:

However, the StarSense will save you a lot of time in the long run, and I have already experienced this benefit myself. Provides advanced mount modeling ? the ability to align on numerous stars throughout the sky for extremely precise goto pointing accuracy. EdgeHDis an aplanatic, flat-field Schmidt optical system that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system reduces more than just off-axis star coma; it provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.

My view of the sky is fairly unrestricted, but anyway the HC works fine it is just the app that isnt working.

WiFi, if you are using a Celestron Evolution or Astro Fi, or connecting via the SkyPortal WiFi Module. Note that CPWI will not work with any other WiFi module. With built-in mount modeling, you will get superior pointing accuracy from horizon to horizon. When your alignment needs to be perfect, add up to 10 additional calibration stars to achieve a new level of accuracy, great for locating objects in the camera's field of view for astroimaging.

create an accurate model of the sky, then sets the hand controller so you can select specific objects to see the telescope in any particular direction if it’s on an altazimuth mount. An equatorial mount, however, I really want to get this to work with the app because this is what sold it for me to buy this particular scope. So hoping that someone can help me. Just a few things to note:
