Beginner Telescope Overview | Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130

Psychic, telestope, professional acting totally not awkward😂. But loved it anyway pleaseeeee never change your style

Like others have said, the eyepieces that come with it are essentially just "free" starter eyepieces. The 25 is ok, but even a very modestly priced 9mm-10mm Plossl eyepiece like the GSO 9mm Plossl, will make a world of difference. Adding a GSO 6mm Plossl for the planets and double stars would be very worth while too. The eyepiece is half the optics of a telescope, and since eyepieces can still be used when you upgrade your telescope, investing in a good eyepiece is often worthwhile. The 10mm, 52 degree from explore scientific, with good eye relief, will work very well with this scope (and your next scope), or for a few dollars more, the explore scientific 9mm, 62 degree is a great start to an eyepiece collection, and perfect for this scope with 72x magnification. This scope will reward an investment in good eyepieces.

Sarah, thank you for making content. I enjoy your videos and frequently laugh, love your dry sense of humor. Thank you.

I have and love the 102mm refractor version. A big plus is the the StarSense Explorer app works on it's own. It does not need wifi or cell service to function perfectly!

It was like you're psychic! You knew exactly what telescope I was thinking you were going to review. Goosebumps!!

Best video on this telescope I've watched. I've watched alot of them. Subscribed

Super informative! Appreciate the humor!

Finding this video has helped me fuel the spontaneous idea of buying a telescope, I’ve just checked and they sell this model here in aus. Should make those nights camping in the middle of nowhere all the more glorious

💯 unique explanation style, worth it 💯

Love it!

Do you use a QHY Polemaster for polar alignment or prefer a traditional polar scope when using a German Equatorial Mount??

What a smart design to help find targets. Very cool, well done.

StarSence looks like a great feature. As a beginner looking to buy a telescope sometime in the near future, I’ll be looking for a model with that for sure. 👍🏻

I enjoyed you pointed out the first step, a snack ❤

Great review Sarah! Seems like a great bargain for people just starting out in astronomy for sure. I also wish I was psychic...

I've used these a couple of time- They're really not bad beginner setups! I would avoid the eyepieces that they ship with and invest in something better as these are really what will hold you back as you yearn for harder to observe targets. Very cool video, Sarah!

Genial, una review muy detallada. En mi caso, tengo el Celestron Astromaster 130 eq que viene siendo como su hermano gemelo en relación a que ambos tienen la misma apertura de 130mm y la misma longitud focal de 650mm lo cual los convierte en f/5. Debo decir que la calidad óptica es muy buena, lo cual resalta aún más al utilizar oculares, barlows y filtros de buena calidad cuando nos sea pertinente. Esto hace de estos telescopios una opción muy buena para la observación astronómica de campo celeste abierto o de espacio profundo, sobre todo en espacios con un bajo nivel de contaminación lumínica. Para observación de planetaria, me quedo con mis Maksutov Cossegrain el Celestron NexStar 127SLT y el SVBONY MK105. Salu2

Thanks heaps Sarah 😊

Hi.. great video nice work Sarah , well explained overview of the scope... nice beginners level scope and see what you enjoy with room for expansion as the interest grows and even with a experienced observer great as sit out on a clear night with a low power eyepiece and sweep the milky way

You did not mention if a camera or video eye piece be used, i have no clue as i am new, bu told looking for a telescope.
