Questions about Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130

According to our information, the tested return is technically flawless.

None of the above. There is a colimator (red dot finder without zoom) + smartphone with StarSense application. That's the whole idea of the StarSense series. It is pretty accurate I have to say.

The Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130 can mainly be used with the StarSense Explorer app, but it is also possible to use the telescope without the app. - The telescope comes with a manual, single-arm alt-azimuth mount and dual-axis fine adjustment control cables that allow the telescope to be manually aligned and moved. - It is also equipped with a simple red dot finder, which helps to find objects in the sky without having to rely on the app. - In addition, the supplied eyepieces can be used to observe objects directly through the eyepiece, even when the app is not available. It is therefore possible to use the telescope without the app, although the app makes it much easier to use and find celestial objects.

In addition to the telescope, it is the eyepieces that allow you to see the moon, planets and stars clearly and in detail. Therefore, in addition to a telescope like the Celestron 130DX, you will need to invest at least another 300 to 500 Fr. in eyepieces, Barlow lenses and various accessories. Alternatively, you can look on the second-hand market. Saturn moves very quickly (even if it doesn't seem like it). A fixed or manual telescope is not the best choice, but a motorised one will cost at least three times as much.

yes they are compatible

Hello, unfortunately I can't answer your question. It was a gift for another person, a beginner in the field and I don't think she can give you any information on this subject. Sorry and good prospecting!

Rather not. The images are then all upside down. A reflector telescope always outputs the images rotated 180 degrees. In addition, there would be a significant lack of contrast compared to binoculars.

Yes, the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130 has a 1.25" eyepiece, so it should fit.
