So The All Things I Get Obsessed About This

astronomy thing is getting a little out of control. I bought myself a celestron smartphone adapter. I’m really kind of enjoying using my celestron. Next are 6se and I’m enjoying using the new lens isn’t they how to attach my UK to it, But sometimes I just don’t have a lot of time to spend or enough to get all this stuff set up and I’ve actually taken one really good picture with just my UK before and it must have been a fluke because I don’t if you’ve ever tried it trying to get your lens right over the eyepiece and in focus everything’s like initially impossible. So I decided to pick up one of these left on Nick’s Boise or not next y’see whatever he to call it and it’s actually quite expensive.

Its 50 Pounds.

There are cheaper. alternatives that I’ve seen online, but when I’ve researched about them people basically said that flimsy or they a break over time and they’re around two-thirds of the price. So I figured I’ll pay a little bit more and hopefully get something that’s a bit more sturdy. So if I don’t box it and we try it out and basically see kind of what I think and if it’s worth getting one so let’s pop open the box see what we get inside so that’s from boxing is always very functional, but not necessarily that sexy a Teta not like an apple product or someone wanted to be a police but that’s fine because I’d rather have a functional product.

Some Of This Is Really Expensive So

that’s all we’ve got in here so that’s one sorry for a minute so here you have some basic instructions damn so this. fit most smartphones? It’s got quite a good level of adjustability and it should fit telescopes binoculars spotting scopes, whatever sort of thing you’re into obviously. I think you can adapt it slowly to adjust and fit to a microscope. I don’t have one of those to try, but I believe you can as he says here yes so if the microscope to choose one of the two provided adapter rings that best fits your microscope eyepiece sphere into place. So there you go so then it should be quite straightforward.

So Just Theres A Lever That Were Gonna

squeeze the clamp over the eyepiece and we do it best safety lock and then attach our phone and then align everything and see how we go so up. We do this little bit of unboxing. Now I want to see then I will take this outside and try it just. On the Tesco in add a slightly quite easy to line up with or something and see how well it works okay so just looking at it straight away. It feels good quality plastics say I don’t know is it I want to say it feels like it’s 50 pounds worth of plastic.

I Mean Some Things Are A Little

bit flimsy, but I guess they need to have a reason a movement in it. I was here to work but it feels well constructed and easy enough to maneuver which I think is important so the way this works and my understanding is obviously we’re going to attach the smartphone into this main section here that are just really wide not too wide as it pops out that’s not good okay yeah, so it’s just a spring in a groove, so just be careful, how far you attach it. It doesn’t feel like it’s a really strong grip in there, so I don’t know if that spring will weaken over time, but we’ll try the house here put the phone in there. Then with this clamp clamp that over the eyepiece and I think where you kind of adjust this little piece here to tighten the clamp onto our piece. It doesn’t move around too much.

Then We Have A Couple Of

additional knobs to fine-tune it’s this normal my left is a look at. This allows us to focus in and out to the eyepiece and that’s a really smooth nice flow of movement which is good and then this larger one and labels us to move the eyepiece up and down around the smartphone camera lens. So we all go downstairs get things plugged in and try it out and what I am noticing which is which. good if you like your stuff too you know be kept in a good condition. This has a nice rubber backing where your phone sits so I don’t one thing I won’t know until we try on a moment is how well this fits in with a case on the phone.

So I Have A Uk 8 Plus

and it has a case on it so UK that fits in there but this also has nice knot on the top and on the bottom. It’s got a nice soft touch material, which means is what’s he gonna grab ball so not scratch your eyepiece. But there’s nothing on the top, which there’s a shame reading a bit confusing why didn’t they follow this up to the top. But I guess you asked us to save a bit of money, but it all seems pretty good so for me and grab. my phone and we see how well this fits in here the desk and then we go downstairs.

So These These Must Be The Eye

eyepiece things that they mentioned for the microscope, which some there was is to grab one a bit harder so put them in the box. I grab my phone. We do a quick kind of test fit here and see how it works and then we pop outside and try it on the telescope itself okay so put on my phone. Then someone had posted just realized when we do the recording later. I do my best to show the screen, but I also do some recording because I have one of these security protective covers on so it’s difficult for the camera to pick things up, but let’s see how well things fit in so just looking at this from the front.

Obviously This Pulls Out Quite Nicely Here We

pop the phone in it does it fits snugly with the case, so I’ll just pop that down there I thought she had a really nice firm fit. I was worried it wouldn’t be too firm because it didn’t fill it as much tension there at the phone actually fits in really well, so I’m not worried about that falling off so just imagine what that would be like and actually I think just pushed the weight it doesn’t our allow a nice smooth movement, which is really good and yeah it all seems really good. So let’s pop outside and see the folks on our chimney or something and then see how well this thing actually works and then if the skies are clear tonight. I’ll add some bonus footage on the end of some nighttime viewing the moon is currently. not out in the use of mobile suit great for seeing some other stars that’s where you can see if I can see Saturn or something and see what it looks like through the camera, so this should I seen before I am go outside there’s obviously I thought this is just an extended knob for adjusting the height the one in closer removes a horizontal as well so really it just give you the full I guess it is a three-axis adapter so yeah you got the full up-down left-right and you know now motions so really should enable the ability to get good customization what we’re looking for here.

I Hit The One Trends Im Going

to have potentially is with the newer UK of so you’ve got the two lenses. So I’m not Not quite sure which lens has priority so we have to mess around with that a little bit. I’m just going to use a standard 25-millimeter celestron eyepiece so you’ve got it’s not massive field of view, but it won’t be too zoomed in to try a few things out okay so we’re outside now you know I’m trying to test this out. I think the thing to be aware of it’s summer holidays right now and kids are out them people having domestics and stuff. So I probably twenty background noise.

Ive Lined The Camera The Camera

the telescope all the chimney rest over there and focused it in so that’s what we’re going to try and hopefully get to see through the camera so let’s make it happen okay so the first thing is going to be making sure that you get this attached nice and tight. on to the eyepiece, so it does feel really loose when you first set it on So this is where this adapter here when I do something I guess in terms of turning it down hopefully to a stage where it looks tightly. Yeah that feels really good at is a good level of the movement and you can feel that that’s now in a good place and it’s only moving because the UK is a little bit loose so that’s good so now If I turn their phone on see what we can see honestly. It’s not quite sure what I can see here right now, but we’re just some knobs okay that’s good so you’re making some progress. So I can now at least see the chimney breasts in there so now I’m going to try and move it along the vertical axis.

A Little Bit Okay Thats.

Good so now I can definitely see I’m in the eyepiece still see the ring the eyepiece a little bit which makes sense so now I need to try and move it forwards and backwards. All the controls feel quite natural in a way of see a lot use this before but it feels natural to have new things favorite away and closer that’s moving it in so I’ve got what I’m going to do actually is. I have the eyepiece I relief up so I’m going to push that down and you just adjust the grip a little bit so I can get it closer through the eyepiece. Odom just pop that off of the eyepiece down He’s give the UK to Venus.

Its A Bit Messy, But Ive Now Got

a much closer fit on that back up again so the phone is now resting on the eyepiece. I think this will be the issue Now We’re obviously because it’s got the case on it. ‘s probably a little bit of lights ingress on there. So if I if I hold it round.

• eyepiece
• telescope
• telescopes
• lenses
• lens

I Can See Im Covering Up

the the light but let’s see let’s try again see if we can move this in closer at all okay no I just move this around a little bit. So I can still clearly see see the eyepiece in there but not too bad suppose feel like I need to move it towards me a little bit. Now you definitely get to fill it as a sweet spot, and you want to do things up a little bit because you definitely get some light pollution from the side. I think obviously this is going to be better at nighttime that is during the day and I’m gonna pop the case.

Off Of My Phone And See If

that makes any difference because I feel like I can’t quite get as close as I’d like Okay. Syd has definitely changed that angles a little bit there’s definitely a balance of trying to have the phone as flat as possible, which is a little bit difficult. This the way the camera on the UK.
