Royal Observatory Greenwich StarSense DX 100 Celestron Telescope

Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with StarSense; the first telescope that uses your smartphone to analyse the night sky and calculate its position in real time. Unleash the power of your smartphone to take you on a guided tour of the night sky; no telescope experience required. This edition of Celestron StarSense is ideal for beginners thanks to the app’s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky.

Celestron StarSense DX 100 is advanced enough to be able to pick out Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula, double stars, and a few more of the most famous celestial objects. If you can take the telescope to an even slightly darker location, more objects will become visible.

With this 4” refractor and relatively dark skies, the Andromeda Galaxy, Hercules Open Star Cluster, and so many more are easily within your reach. With a large 100mm (4”) objective lens, this telescope has enough light gathering ability to bring out impressive detail in celestial objects. You can expect sharp, bright views of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons, its cloud bands and Great Red Spot, the rings of Saturn, the trapezium in the Orion Nebula, and beautiful Pleaides Open Star Cluster. Celestron’s XLT optical coatings improve light transmission, enhancing the views even more.  The telescope also includes a 90-degree erect image diagonal, so you can use it during the day to view birds, wildlife, landscapes, and more.

The entire telescope kit weighs just 13.5 pounds, so it’s perfectly portable and easy to bring on your next camping trip or to a remote observing site.

Features

• Award-winning and patented StarSense sky recognition technology uses your smartphone to analyse star patterns overhead and calculate its position in real time.
• StarSense Explorer app automatically generates a list of objects currently visible. View planets, brighter nebulae and galaxies, star clusters, and double stars from the city. Or take your telescope to darker skies to view faint, deep sky objects.
• Manual altazimuth mount with smooth, dual-axis slow-motion controls makes it easy to follow the on-screen arrows to your desired target. When the bullseye turns green, it’s ready to view in the telescope’s eyepiece.
• 100mm (4”) refractor with fully coated optics and enough light gathering ability to view all the best celestial objects.
• Includes 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, StarSense smartphone dock, erect image diagonal, a StarPointer™ red dot finderscope (in case you want to use the telescope without your phone), and a sturdy, full-height tripod.
• Celestron in association with the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

Solar Warning

• Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
• Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it.
• Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.

SMARTIFY SHOP SHIPPING POLICY

SMARITFY Shop is a global multi-seller arts and heritage marketplace with every order helping directly support our museum and gallery partners. We offer a collection of hand picked products from different partners around the world. As a marketplace we don’t hold stock, so when an order is placed with us, the product gets shipped from the museum itself.

If you have purchased multiple products from different museum suppliers at the same time, each product will be sent separately and directly from each individual museum.

SMARTIFY Shop is not directly responsible for the delivery of products purchased on our site. Responsibility for this is passed to the museum supplier once the purchase has been made and payment has been collected by us. However, we manage all customer communications, so if you have any issues with delivery of your product, please contact us at support@smartify.org.uk first. Throughout this policy, we refer to our museum partners as our “Retailers”.

WHERE ARE SMARTIFY SHOP PRODUCTS DELIVERED AND WHAT ARE THE DELIVERY COSTS?

Each of our Retailers select which countries in the world they deliver to, and they set their own delivery costs for each country (which will vary). If this is not clearly stated on the individual product page, then you will be able to check in the shopping bag before proceeding to payment.

Our Retailers also select their own couriers, which may also differ by country.

WHERE DO PROMOTIONS APPLY?

If you use a promotional code, the reduction is usually applied only to the price of the product and not the delivery cost at checkout.

HOW ARE VAT AND IMPORT DUTIES MANAGED?

All UK orders have VAT already included, so you should not be charged VAT for orders you receive in the UK. However you may be liable for import duties if you order a product from outside the UK e.g. from the US or EU.

For customers outside of the UK, your order may be subject to VAT and import duties, taxes and potentially other fees which are levied on the products upon arrival into your country, based on where you live.

As the customer, you (and not us or the Retailer) are responsible for paying any duties, taxes, and other fees that apply in your region. These are government-imposed duties that we have no control over. Should you require more information, please contact your local customs office.

Depending on the postal services used by the Retailer, you will have either an option to pay any additional fees online by following the tracking number available once your order is shipped, or directly to your courier upon delivery. Note: you will be required to pay any relevant duties before your items will be released to you.

Unfortunately, if you fail to pay any charges and the parcel is returned to sender, you cannot receive a refund for this.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY ORDER?

Your shopping basket on the SMARTIFY Shop displays the products you have chosen, the Retailer who shall provide them, and details of postage and packing. The delivery costs for each Retailer vary according to the delivery methods they offer.

Once you have ordered one or more products from SMARTIFY Shop, the relevant Retailer will be immediately notified by SMARTIFY. This initiates the processing of your order, and ultimately delivery to you.

We ask our Retailers to send products to you as quickly and as cost efficiently as possible. All Retailers will aim to despatch your orders within 2-5 working days, however please check the particular product listing for specific despatch and shipping times. Please bear in mind that products ordered from countries far away from your location will likely take longer to get to you. Please also bear in mind global delays to shipping times caused by COVID-19.

The products you order will be delivered by the Retailer(s) using a third party courier service. Please note that any estimated delivery dates provided to you are simply estimates – they do not represent a guarantee that the products will arrive by that time.

Furthermore, where parcels are held by customs clearance agencies, there may be significant delays to delivery. Unfortunately, these delays are beyond our and the Retailer’s control and neither we nor the Retailer can accept responsibility for this. If you do not receive a delivery in time, you may cancel your order in accordance with the SMARTIFY Shop Returns Policy.  

HOW CAN I TRACK MY DELIVERY?

A delivery confirmation email from SMARTIFY Shop will be sent to you as soon as the order has been despatched. This email will contain a tracking number and the date the Retailer despatched the product.

If you want to know the status of your delivery, please use the tracking number and link in this delivery confirmation email. This is the easiest and quickest way for you to get this information.

If a Retailer is experiencing a high volume of orders, other factors that may be COVID-19 related, or other issues such as poor weather or postal strikes, delivery may be delayed.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS THE DELIVERY?

If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the product cannot be posted through your letterbox, our Retailer or their delivery company may leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the product. Please note that the delivery company may leave your parcel with a neighbour or in a safe place.

If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect the product, our Retailer may contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs.

EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL

If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will work with the Retailer to contact you as soon as possible to let you know and steps will be taken to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact support@smartify.org.uk. to receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

WHEN DO I BECOME RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRODUCT?

A product will be your responsibility from the time the product is delivered to the address you gave us during the checkout process (this includes delivery to a neighbour or some other safe) and will be at your risk from that time. You own a product once we have received payment in full.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I ADD THE INCORRECT ADDRESS DETAILS?

Please ensure your details, including your address is completed correctly and a valid phone number is available at order. SMARTIFY Shop does not take responsibility for lost or undelivered products if the address is incorrect.

If your order is returned to the Retailer, the cost of redelivery must be paid before it is despatched again.

HOW DO I REPORT A DAMAGED ITEM UPON DELIVERY?

Please see the SMARTIFY Shop Returns Policy.

SMARTIFY SHOP RETURNS POLICY

SMARTIFY Shop is a global multi-seller arts and heritage marketplace with every order helping directly support our museum and gallery partners. We offer a collection of hand picked products from different partners around the world. As a marketplace we don’t hold stock, so when an order is placed with us, the product gets shipped from the museum itself. Throughout this policy, we refer to our museum partners as our “Retailers”. Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights – more information about these can be found in our Terms and Conditions of Sale.

HOW DO I RETURN AN ITEM?

If you want to return a product, you will need to inform SMARTIFY Shop directly, rather than the Retailer. Please email us at support@smartify.org.uk with your order number as well as the reason for your return. Our customer services team will review the return request and, if approved, send further instructions and where the products will need to be sent. You have 14 days from the date the product is delivered to inform us of your desire to return it, and then a further 14 days from the date you notify us to send back the product. You must inform us that you are returning an order before doing so.

To be eligible for a return, your product must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, our Retailers will not be able to accept any products that fail to meet these criteria. If the condition of the product shipped back to our Retailers is not in an acceptable condition, we reserve the right to not refund. Products that have been personalised cannot be refunded.

If the Retailer offers free returns, details of this will be included in the packaging originally sent to you. If the Retailer does not offer free returns, you are responsible for packaging up the product and posting it back at your own cost. In this instance, we recommend sending with signed-for delivery and obtaining proof of postage.

You are responsible for any product being returned until it arrives back with the Retailer.

Any delivery costs or import taxes you may have had to pay to receive an product cannot be refunded by us upon the return of that product.

It is your responsibility to fill out any customs declaration form correctly. When filling in the customs declaration form, please consult with your post office personnel how to declare a return exempt from import duties. Otherwise, the Retailer may be charged customs import taxes, which they will deduct from your refund amount.

HOW LONG IS THE RETURNS PROCESS?

Processing returns may take up to 28 days from the day our Retailer receives and reviews your return. We will notify you of the status of your refund once it is updated.  In most cases, a full refund will be credited for defective products. Please note that original shipping costs are not refundable unless the delivered product is faulty.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY REFUND?

All refunds will be credited to your original form of payment. If you paid by credit or debit card, refunds will be sent to the card-issuing bank within 28 business days of receipt of the returned product or cancellation request. Please contact the card-issuing bank with questions about when the credit will be posted to your account.

HOW DO I CHANGE OR CANCEL MY ORDER?

Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel your order. Make sure to provide your order number and the modification you would like to make and we’ll confirm if the modification has been made. Please note that any orders that have already been packed or shipped cannot be modified or cancelled. In the event that the shipment has not been processed, the cancellation of the order must be made within less than 1 hour after the order is placed. If the shipment is in processing even though less than an hour has passed, it cannot be cancelled.

HOW DO I MAKE AN EXCHANGE?

Most of our Retailers allow exchanges, although some only offer a return and refund. If you wish to make an exchange, please contact support@smartify.org.uk.
