Does this product come with a stand?

Yes, the tripod and mount with attachable smartphone dock is included with this telescope. Please note that the cradle is shipped rotated 180 degrees to prevent the locking knob from damaging the box in transit, so you will need to rotate the mounting cradle 180 degrees (using the knob as a lever) before attaching the scope and phone dock.

Can i use their starsense app with other telescopes as well or will it work only on their starsense telescopes?

If you contact Celestron through their website, they are very good about getting back to you.

What is the length of the optical tube? What is the height of the folded tripod? Can it fit in the luggage for travel?

Hi! Our telescope is assembled, so a little hard to measure, but the optical tube is approximately 31 inches long and the folded tripod is about 33 inches.
