Smart Telescopes

Smart Telescopes are all-in-one devices that combine a telescope, color camera, GoTo and tracking functions and automatic image processing and connect wirelessly to your smart device, which displays images in real time and acts as your remote control. Being fully integrated, they are quick to set up, self aligning and easy to use and three models are available for less than $500† making astrophotography easier and more affordable than ever. Yet, they can take stunning photos of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters, along with close-up views of the Sun and Moon, with color and detail you won't see using a traditional telescope. There are now ten models from five manufacturers that range from fit-in-your-hand size to serious-user size.

This website is a comprehensive guide to Smart Telescopes and your one-stop informational source for Product Overviews, a guide to Common Features, a Smart Telescope Comparison chart, a Smart Telescope Image Gallery, Tips & Tricks, a brief History of the Telescope and more so you can learn how to photographically document your exploration of our solar system and beyond!
