Your First

Night Out

Congratulations! Your telescope is now set up 

and you are ready to explore the cosmos. Take the 

telescope outside, insert your 25 mm eyepiece, 

remove the lens cap, insert your smartphone into the 

holder, and launch the StarSense Explorer app. The 

tutorial in the app will walk you through the steps on 

finding your first astronomical target. 

Attaching the 

Smartphone

Remove the large cap covering the mirror on the front 

of the StarSense dock.

Pull open the spring loaded slider on the top of the 

phone dock and set the phone into the holder so 

it is flush with the bottom lip of the phone holder. 

Slowly release the slider to secure the phone in 

place. Most phones fit into the dock with the case 

on. However, you may need to remove your phone 

case if it is especially bulky or unable to fit into the 

clamp (i.e. folio style cases).
