Autostar is a telescope controller that allows you to automatically adjust your telescope to a variety of more than 30,000 celestial objects in the night sky. The controller works with ETX-90AT, ETX-105AT, or ETX-125AT telescopes and DS telescopes. With the Autostar controller you can see more stars, nebulas and planets than you would be able to if you were adjusting the telescope on your own.
