The easiest way to align your telescope just got even better.
For years, StarSense AutoAlign has been one of the most popular upgrades for Celestron computerized telescopes, allowing users to skip manual star alignment and get observing faster. Now, the new StarSense AutoAlign V2 builds on that success with several important upgrades designed to make setup even easier and more precise.
What's New in StarSense AutoAlign V2?
No Dedicated Hand Controller Required
The original StarSense required its own StarSense hand controller. The new V2 can be operated directly through a compatible NexStar+ hand controller, reducing cable clutter and eliminating the need for an additional controller. If your telescope already uses a NexStar+ hand control, you're ready to go.
New Live View Mode
Achieving perfect focus in the field is now easier than ever. The new USB-C connection enables Live View functionality, allowing you to see exactly what the StarSense camera sees. This makes focusing and diagnostics significantly more convenient, especially during initial setup.
Enhanced Polar Alignment Assistance
StarSense AutoAlign V2 features improved Polar Alignment Assist performance for greater accuracy when setting up compatible equatorial mounts. Achieve more precise tracking for visual observing and astrophotography without requiring visibility of Polaris.
Modern USB-C Connectivity
A new USB-C interface provides access to Live View, diagnostics, and direct firmware updates through your computer, bringing StarSense into the modern era with a single, versatile connection.
