Celestron NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter
Anyone using this adapter? My Meade works for standard eye pieces but not for my ultra wide eye pieces. Thanks.

Re: Celestron NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter
I have this adapter and it is good but not perfect. I find it works best on eyepieces with cylindrical bodies. "Hand grenade" eyepieces with curvy bodies such as the Meade UWA 5000's may shift off-center in the vice. Note also that between the adapter, the phone, and the eyepiece, your telescope balance shifts so my Z8 dob is slightly off balance and my 102 refractor wobbles a bit longer. Not a major problem but it adds to the trickiness.

Thanks for the reply. Kind of figured these cell phone adapters were made for the regular eye pieces.
