That photo of Jupiter is a heck of a lot better than I can manage, Steve.
All I can do to try to take photos, is hold my cellphone near the eyepiece, and hope I can see something on the screen, to take a photo of. So far I've had a marked lack of success at that.
Because of the design of my scope, the max weight the focusser will support is 250g. Any more, and the plastic plate the focusser is on, will start to sag. Most cellphones are well over that by themselves, without counting the weight of an eyepiece, and a cellphone holder. So all I can do is hand hold the cellphone above the eyepiece, with the camera looking at the eyepiece.
