Hi all,
I have been given a Celestron 5se telescope with a StarSense digital camera(?) by a family member who basically just gave up. I did some reading and and borrowed a Celestron WiFi module in order to make it a bit easier. I have absolutely zero knowledge of Astronomy so have come here for help 😊
Watched a few videos online but I still have some (a lot) questions that relate to use with the WiFi module.
I was told by someone that if I bought the WiFi module I would not need the StarSense camera – this seems wrong to me as that is surely what sees the constellations?
I don’t think I will need to use the handset for anything except slewing the scope around the sky?
The telescope mount has an angled wedge on it. Do I still need to elevate this to by current latitude if I’m using the WiFi module?
Will I need an AUX splitter so that I can use StarSense and the WiFi module? Are the ones sold be Celestron a special type or is it jut a generic splitter?
What options do I have on a power tank? I see Celestron sell them starting out at £109.99 which seems a lot for a 12v tank.
Thanks for reading.
