Smartphone controlled telescopes are nothing new. The Celestron NexStar Evolution 8 is one of many you can control from your iOS or Android smartphone. It is a bit pricey though. Hammacher has a much more affordable smartphone controlled tracking telescope with an app that syncs your device’s built-in GPS to a database of 120,000 celestial objects. You can tap on celestial objects on your smart device and the telescope will point at them automatically.
