It comes with the convenient StarSense Explorer app that does all the hard work for you - it is the first telescope to use a smartphone in such capacity. The app generates a list of objects currently visible in the sky for you to observe. The included manual altazimuth mount, featuring smooth, dual-axis slow-motion controls allow you to easily follow the on-screen arrows to your target so that you can spend more time exploring and less time worrying about complex controls. From planets, galaxies to deep sky objects - the night sky belongs to you.

Refractor or Reflector?

Which one should you be going for? Well, there is a distinct difference between the two types and each type has its advantage. Reflecting telescopes use mirrors inside the tube; whereas, refractor telescopes use lenses and therefore are often bigger and heavier. Because of this, refractors have become popular as cheaper, lighter and more portable telescopes (great for beginners too). Generally, refractor telescopes tend to be better for observing planets and the moon; whereas, reflectors are better for deep-sky objects such as galaxies and nebulas.
