Smart telescopes are modern, fully automated observational instruments that combine traditional optics with digital image processing, app-based control, and automatic celestial navigation. They allow users to discover and photograph celestial objects without manual adjustments or in-depth technical knowledge.
One of the key technical features is plate solving, which enables the telescope to automatically determine its position in the sky. With live stacking, images are processed and enhanced in real time, delivering impressive results even under light-polluted conditions. Control is conveniently handled via an app on a smartphone or tablet, while automatic tracking ensures the telescope follows celestial objects independently. An integrated camera allows for high-quality astrophotography—without the need for additional equipment.
This technology offers numerous advantages for users: smart telescopes are especially beginner-friendly, requiring no prior experience. Setup takes just a few minutes, and thanks to their compact design, they are ideal for use on balconies, in gardens, or while traveling.

The Celestron Origin captures the beauty of celestial objects and transmits them wirelessly to your tablet, smartphone or even a TV screen.
- The modern way of stargazing and astrophotography: Celestron Origin is a smart telescope. It captures stunning images of faint deep-sky objects at the touch of a button and transmits them to your smartphone or tablet. The images captured in seconds look better than what you would see by eye through the eyepiece of a much larger telescope under much darker skies.
Revolutionary RASA optics: With the patented 6-inch Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA), the Origin is a smart telescope with a difference. With its large aperture and fast f/2.2 focal ratio, it produces photos with much greater detail and shorter exposure times than previously possible. - Next-generation 678C camera: Equipped with Sony´s latest Starvis 2 color CMOS technology, the Origin 678C offers higher resolution, improved sensitivity, and a noticeable leap in image quality compared to the first generation of the Celestron Origin - Intelligent Home Observatory with the IMX178C sensor.
- EAA - AI-powered Electronically Aided Astronomy: As Origin acquires data, built-in AI algorithms autonomously stack and process each image in real time. Galaxies and nebulae instantly come to life - sharp, detailed and in brilliant color - without user intervention.
- Automated setup with StarSense: Set up the Origin outside in the open air, switch it on and connect it to the app. With Celestron´s patented StarSense technology, the telescope pop scans the sky and focuses automatically. Within less than two minutes, you are ready to select a target and start capturing images.
- Intuitive app interface: The user-friendly Celestron Origin app for iOS and Android, developed in partnership with Simulation Curriculum, the makers of SkySafari, provides a simple yet powerful planetarium interface that makes it easy to navigate the sky and control the system.
- Share the images with anyone: multiple users can simultaneously view the telescope´s live feed via the Origin app. You can also broadcast the view to your smart TV or save and share instantly.
Advanced astrophotography: If you want to do the image processing yourself, simply download the raw image files you have taken to a USB stick. You can also experiment with nebula filters such as the nebula filter for Origin Intelligent Home Observatory, or use the Origin for terrestrial observations during the day. Autoguiders and polar wedges for longer exposure times are available separately.
