Imagery with iPhone

Hi all.

This may have been done before (forum) but I was wondering if it is possible to use an Iphone for imagery with a collapsible dob?

I don't have goto or anything like that so it would all be manual operation.

I have used my phone up on the eyepiece to snap pics through the eye piece but keen to know if there are phone kits that can hold onto the scope in some way and let the phone do it's thing with video and then a computer program to fix the images?

That way I have two hands free to do what ever I need to do.

I hope that makes sense.

You can use that technique to do planetary and luna photography but without tracking that's all you'll be limited to with a dob.
There are cradles that will attach a phone onto the eye piece, keeps it steady and lets it do its own thing
