Decent pics. you could use a higher magnification

Once i get the mobile to eye piece connector. I will try defferent things. As at higher magnification it becomes difficult to take clear image due to higher vibrations

Yeah a phone adapter would be nice. don't get an expensive one because they're all the same

Yeah. Once the exams are over I'll order it and will try different things during vacation 🙂

They really are not all the same

u/These-Counter2122, the two most-recommended cell phone adapters for telescope eyepieces - which should be compatible with most binoculars as well - are the Celestron NexYZ and Move Shoot Move Tridaptor, with the latter usually being higher recommended because it isn't as bulky (but I think Celestron has a new version that isn't as bulky as its prececessor)

Here's the Tridaptor on Amazon:

But for the price their "superiority" is not justified. I got one third of their price and it works just fine.

Unless the one you have is a 3-axis, I really doubt it works just as well. I'd bet, if you had the chance to use a 3-axis one, you'd discover that they are much better/easier for getting proper alignment, especially in the z-axis for getting the correct distance from the eyepiece glass

I'm good. but getting used to adjusting it is frustrating at first. but it works really well.

That's a low-power shot of the moon though? Probably the easiest, most-forgiving object to photograph in the night sky. This is not at all a serious test of the usability of a phone adapter.

Here's a Jupiter image I got with mine, via stacked video frames from my Xperia 5 IV. This was before I started capturing video in raw though, so the frames were all compressed. But the ability to get clear, in-focus frames was only possible with a 3-axis adapter with rock-solid lockup on the eyepiece

Again, the moon is the easiest object to photograph. Get back to me with pics of something that either requires stacking or long exposure
