[Octane]

Interesting.. buy one and write a review? :P

[that_guy]

that's just plain stupid!! That's a phone! not a bloody zoom camera!! I just don't see the point on a 3 mp camera...

[Kevnool]

Imagine that thing sticking out of your pocket.

Cheers Kev.

[Omaroo]

Some people are just no fun... :lol:

What a great idea Humayun! If someone produced a dovetail for it I'd sell all of my scopes. What'd be their point hey? Just think - you'd run Voyager mobile or the other one, Skymap, perform your exposures and away you'd go! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Ju

:eyepop: :lol: They need to do a "foldable" version. It's not pocket friendly ;)
BTW what about the seeing problems we're all experiencing and the clouds. They got an app for it yet? :)

[tlgerdes]

Now complete with tripod

I wonder if I can put the Iphone on my EQ6 (LOL)

Cheers Petra d.

[kustard]

Lol, that's funny :D

All you'd need would be an app that takes a photo when you clap your hands so you didn't have to touch it hehe.

I wonder what optics they are using in it considering the price?

[JimmyH155]

For $11 that will be absolute rubbish. :mad2::mad2: Will probably show up at Aldi next. What will they think of next? Still no can opener attachment though:P

[Omaroo]

I bought one. Works well:

1 x 1 sec shot. Single frame, no stacking.

[lacad01]

:rofl:
And to think all this time I've just been using the phone to help with polar alignment, levelling, star map, stay online...oh and make & receive calls and without realizing I had a pocket Hubble scope ;)

[bloodhound31]

It would be GREAT for ULTRA-WIDE field shots!!!:eyepop:

Thanks for the giggle H! Well spotted. :rofl:

Somehow I don't think I can put into words what I think of such a gadget...:rolleyes:

[dugnsuz]

That's what you call "over-mounting"!!
