I think this Celestron adaptor from Bintel would likely be the best bet, Celestron NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter
Celestron site
Bintel, $79

Quick note to use "pro" mode, if your phone camera has it, so you can try a few different settings to see what works best.

Hi Carole



I second Jenifur's option, or something similar of course.


I have a cheap one, that holds the phone OK, and attaches to the scope fine, but, getting the object you want to photograph into the cameras view is a pain in the butt!


Also, if your phone doesn't have some sort of pro mode, apparently there are apps that can add the functionality, at least for some phones.
