In this video I partner up with Celestron to show new StarSense users how to install, set-up, align and calibrate the Celestron StarSense using the SkyPortal app. The auto alignment feature gives you the ability to be outside observing in under 5 minutes!
I actually find using StarSense easier to use with the app then I do the hand-controller. In addition to alignment and calibration, this video will also briefly explore the Celestron SkyPortal app.
Note: This video shows how to calibrate the StarSense, which does not need to be done every session if you keep your StarSense mounted.

5 star. Please continue the way You are making your tutorials. Its really easy to understand and follow. The problem with other youtubers is that they are talking too much and not showing actual demonstrations on how to do things right. But your way- with proper instruction and examples, it makes us more confident to use these equipments-focusers, starsense etc. THANK YOU.

I've just purchased the AVX mount and have had the Starsense AutoAlign. It was nice to find this video calling out the combination in particular. Thank you!

Excellent video. Starsense works perfectly with SkySafari Pro also. I am using on Edge 11. The small FOV makes it critical to have good alignment and Starsense makes it easy. I add additional alignment stars (up to 10 total) which makes Goto extremely precise. That would be a good video - Starsense part 2. Also include ASPA example. Thanks!
