Lightweight Smartphone Adapter
Photography can be so easy! This inexpensive smartphone adapter makes it possible to capture the view in the eyepiece of a telescope, spotting scope or microscope with a cell phone camera or even film it without much effort. This method of photography, called digiscoping, is popular with birdwatchers, who can take high-resolution photos of distant birds without the need for large telephoto lenses. Astronomers also like to quickly take a photo of our moon, for example, this way.
Weighing only 113 grams, this smartphone adapter is designed for all instruments for which larger adapters would be too heavy. Using it is simple: just screw the adapter to the eyepiece, fix the smartphone in the holder and position the camera centrally above the eyepiece. Focus using the focuser of your optics (if you can see a sharp image with your eye, that's already enough) and select the image section, the rest is done by the autofocus of your camera. To avoid vibrations and blurred images, it is best to use the camera's remote shutter release, which is integrated into the volume control of the headphone cable on many models, or an app that registers vibrations and only triggers when there are no more vibrations.
In this way, you can achieve a magnification equivalent to that of an SLR camera on a telephoto lens with a focal length of 1000 mm or more with simple binoculars or a small spotting scope! Both the clamp for the eyepiece and the one for the smartphone are padded to prevent scratches.
Note:
High-end smartphones with multiple lenses that change lenses when zooming are less suitable for digiscoping, since the lens must be placed centrally over the eyepiece. For large and massive focusers, we recommend the Celestron NexYZ, which also allows you to adjust the distance to the eyepiece.
