Description

All about the Celestron  ASTRO FI 90 GOTO AZ telescope

Control your telescope using your smart device. The Astro Fi series broadcasts its own wireless connection to Celestron's SkyPortal app to provide easy remote observation. Celestron's SkyPortal app replaces traditional telescope manual control for a 100% wireless experience. Scan the sky for an object you would like to see, tap the object in the SkyPortal, and watch your Astro Fi telescope automatically pan toward the object. As you watch, SkyPortal provides information about the object; Exploring the universe has never been more fun!

NOTE: Due to the amount of information SkyPortal has to offer, we recommend downloading the application before going out to observe.

SkyAlign technology

Preparing to observe is quick and easy thanks to Celestron's award-winning SkyAlign technology. Center any of the three bright objects in the eyepiece and your telescope will calculate its position. You can even generate a Sky Tour of the best celestial objects to see based on their exact time and location.

Accessories included

The Astro Fi 90 comes with two eyepieces (25mm and 10mm), a 90 ° diagonal, an integrated smartphone adapter, and a red dot finder. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications to view the desired object. The diagonal allows for a corrected view and a more comfortable viewing angle for looking up at the night sky. The red dot finder will help you quickly center an object in your eyepiece for easier observation.

Lens Cap / Smartphone Adapter - Image celestial or terrestrial objects with this smartphone adapter! The Astro Fi lens cap has a built-in smartphone adapter to capture great images of the Moon, planets, and terrestrial targets such as birds and wildlife. With its rigid and lightweight frame, this accessory allows you to connect any smartphone to any telescope eyepiece with an outer diameter of 45mm or less. This smartphone adapter easily installs over the top of an eyepiece, while elastic cables hold your phone securely in position so you can take pictures or videos. While the vast majority of smartphones can be used with the case on, some very large and / or bulky phone cases (such as folio cases) may need to be removed for the phone to fit into the adapter.
