Why it made our lists
A tabletop telescope that uses a phone app to point the way to targets. For an adult who wants galaxies without learning star-hopping. It needs a sturdy table outdoors.
What it is
A compact reflector telescope on a tabletop base that uses a phone app to guide the user to targets. The 114mm mirror gathers more light than small refractors.
A compact reflector telescope on a tabletop Dobsonian base, meant to be set on a table or other stable surface outdoors. A dock holds your phone and the StarSense app reads the star field, then shows arrows until the target is lined up and the bullseye turns green. It suits planets, star clusters and brighter nebulae and galaxies from town, with more visible from dark sites.
