2-minute procedure to align the phone with the telescope
App generates a list of celestial objects currently visible
Select the object to view and arrows appear onscreen, guiding the user as they move the telescope
When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green
The StarSense app utilizes a "Lost in Space Algorithm" (LISA) to accurately calculate the current location and orientation by using the phone's GPS data, gyroscopic input, and camera to map the night sky and compare it to the app's database to accurately align and orient the scope and determine what is visible overhead
App is self-contained; no cell signal required for use far off the grid
Compatible Smartphones:
Android 7.1.2 and higher manufactured in 2016 and later, with camera, gyro, and accelerometer
iPhone 6 and newer
