Great Product Fr the iPhone

This item makes your iPhone even more versayile. Afocl astrophotography, using the correct eyepiece can be very rewarding. But it does take some practice a patience. You must be sure to experiment with the eyepiece of your choice. Start with a longer focal length EP like 32mm to get a feel for the adjustments. As you learn the little nuances of using this device it will get eadier. This is a wonderful addition to allow you to use your iPhone for lunar and planetary photoraphy. Depending on the EP you use you may have to spread the clamp a little but this in no way harms the device. You will need to adjust the distance between the camera lens and the eye lens of the EP too to get maximum coverage. Here is the first photo I took with this great little gizmo. A 32mm EP on a Questar 3.5mm Macsutov, effective mag. about 45X. I also recommend the APP 645 Pro as the camera of choice since it allows exposure control and other functions. Have fun !!!

Take beautiful astrophotos through a telescope with your iPhone! The SteadyPix iPhone adapter securely couples an original iPhone, iPhone 3, 3GS, 4 or iPhone 4S to a 1.25 telescope eyepiece so you can take high-magnification pictures through the telescope using the iPhone's built-in camera. The sturdy steel bracket allows the iPhone's camera lens to be positioned directly over the telescope eyepiece eye lens for Afocal eyepiece-projection photography.

Capture high-resolution images of the Moon's cratered surface, bright planets like Saturn and Jupiter and with practice, even some bright deep-space objects and the International Space Station (really)! The fun doesn't stop at sunrise either. Use the SteadyPix iPhone adapter during daylight hours to take superb high-magnification snapshots of distant wildlife and scenery and with a properly sized solar filter, sunspots on the nearest star's all with your iPhone.

The Orion SteadyPix Telescope Afocal Adapter lets you display a live view of the image projected by your telescope on your iPhone screen. Now you can share beautiful real-time views of the night sky with friends and family by using your iPhone as a mini telescope display monitor! The adapter can also attach your iPhone to a photo tripod for steady wide-field pictures without a telescope. Includes felt-lined eyepiece clamp that fits standard 1.25 telescope eyepieces with housing diameters up to 1.5.
