Interesting.. buy one and write a review?

[that_guy (Tony)]

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 (Kev)]

Imagine that thing sticking out of your pocket.

Cheers Kev.

Some people are just no fun...

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! Ju

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?

Now complete with tripod

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

Cheers Petra d.

[kustard (Simon)]

Lol, that's funny

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. Will probably show up at Aldi next. What will they think of next? Still no can opener attachment though

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

I bought one. Works well:

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

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!!!

Thanks for the giggle H! Well spotted.

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

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