phone holders

[muletopia]

Hello folks
,Does anyone have a recommendation for a cradle to hold an android (moto) phone to an eyepiece for happy snaps?

Work out how to use the delay on the phone as well, or the holder will not be as effective. Set to about 3secs to allow vibration to go...

Get something with 3 axis adjustments and also allows for 2" eps.

Celestron NexYZ is pricier than the cheap phone adaptors you can find on eBay etc, but it is built much better than most, and works very well.

Was also going to suggest the Celestron NexYZ…my Son has been able to get some pretty nifty shots with one

I have a NexYZ and I’ve never been able to get a shot down my Televue EP’s and when I tried to use it the other day, found the thing sagged so the phone couldn’t even look down the barrel of my Celestron 25mm plossl.

I bought a cheapie off of eBay a few years back. It has taken some passable planetary images, over a couple of phones. I'll see if I can find the transaction.


EDIT: Transaction was too far back in the past, but the one I bought matches the one in this item number: 155296409811. Put that in the search and it will appear.


FWIW, I am using a Google Pixel 4XL, and previously a Huawei Mate 10... both quite large phones.
