Patented Starsense Sky Recognition Technology
Starsense Explorer Uses Patented Technology And Your Smartphone To Determine Exactly Where The Telescope Is Pointed In The Night Sky. A Lost In Space Algorithm (Lisa), Like The Ones Satellites Use In Orbit To Correctly Orient Themselves, Helps The App Match Star Patterns It Detects Overhead To Its Internal Database.
While Other Astronomy Apps May Claim That They Can Help You Find Objects, They Rely Exclusively On The Phone’S Gyros And Accelerometers, Which Aren’T As Accurate As Lisa Technology. No Other App Can Accurately Tell You When Your Target Is Visible In The Eyepiece.
