Celestron makes eight StarSense Explorer telescopes that use a smartphone app to navigate to objects. They are all manual telescopes and can’t be described as pure smart telescopes because they do not take images of the night sky. However, since they are something of a hybrid product – and they extensively use smartphones – we do include reviews of them on this website, largely because these constitute a cost-effective alternative to a ‘proper’ smart telescope.
