Phone & Celestron adaptor
I ran across this article and I am going to go thru it and hopefully get the adapter to work better.
If anyone else has that adapter is having a problem perhaps this article will help.

Then I bought this one - much better. It's a huge advantage to be able to line up the phone camera directly on the adapter

I do use part of the C-tron to hold my phone alone on a camera tripod for wide angle nightscapes. YMMV.
Man... That's some icky-tasting stuff!

Re: Phone & Celestron adaptor
I've only used it a couple times with 15x70 binos for star fields. The results weren't great but I had no tracking and my exposures were too long. I've not tried it with a scope / diagonal, but if the weather holds, I might try some moon shots one of these mornings with my 72ED. If anybody wants them, I can post measurements or close-up pics.

Re: Phone & Celestron adaptor
I've had no luck with this adapter, I bought it when I first started the journey over two years ago. It can't handle the weight of the newer and larger phones. I tried with a Samsung Note 20 Ultra, useless. Sad thing is it isn't really isn't one of cheaper ones. I got it because of three axis, I think that is it's downfall. The Z-axis is impossible to keep flat unless it's directly against theFrankskywatcher wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2023 2:01 pm I received a smart phone adapter for Christmas I know it’s a cheap one but it was so aggravating and frustrating trying to just line up the camera on the phone with the adapter.

is a load, all IMHO.Works with virtually all smartphone models, including the latest devices from Apple, Samsung, and Google.
Good luck with it.
