Mmm, nice, now we need a filter/cooling mod.

Filter/cooling? Could you please explain that mod you mentioned pls?

Saw a youtube video of this mount looking at a sun spot!

I asked Bintel whether they have one in stock, but it appears they don't have them in as yet.

Yep, that works a treat, I have that setup at home, iphone4s mirrored wirelessly to the TV via the AppleTV module in real time. They love it when the moon is up.

Thanks Poita, great to hear that setup will work fine.

Do you have the iPhone mount? how well does the iPhone pick up the detail from nebulaes and planets (esp jupiter?)

@ Craig:
Great shot you took there using your adapter! I can't believe that such a small camera that can capture shots of space so clearly!

Had a look into those SLR lenses for the iphone. They don't look really handy. Looks like it would be a bit difficult to hold the heavy lens, keep the phone steady and use a touch screen to capture the shot instead of pressing a button imo, (although I hear the latest iPhones, have an option of using a button to take a photo).

I took this moon shot via my lightbridge 12" holding the iphone into the eyepiece. I'm amazed by the quality of this little camera in the iphone4s.

Still waiting for my mount to arrive.

Hey all,

finally got my iphone mount and tried it this evening using one of my old eyepiece - im still waiting on my lightbridge free meade eyepiece 4000 set from bintel so this is the only 1.25" eyepiece i have at the moment (my other eyepiece are 2" - mount is only compatible for 1.25" lenses.)

anyway, the iphone struggle to get details from jupiter - White overexposed circle.. And then i tried the orion nebulae and it barely make out any detail..

Im wondering if filters could help out? As theres a few included in the meade set im waiting on.
