thingiverse

This DIY kit allows you to connect your cellphone to a high-powered telescope using an intuitive mobile app. With apps like Stellarium or Google Sky, navigating the night sky has never been easier. The versatile design also enables customization of phone and telescope sizes for a secure fit. Notable compatible equipment includes Xperia Z1 smartphones and 70mm/900mm Celestron Telescopes. However, users are advised to take full responsibility for potential damage caused by misuse. To assemble this gadget, follow these steps: Download the required file and adjust the parts to suit your phone or telescope's dimensions. Join both pieces together using M3 screws (double-check their sizes for compatibility). Add some intermediary shock-absorbing material between the attachment points to prevent scratching the telescope tube. Once ready, securely tighten the attachment points without over-tightening; aim for a balance between firmness and flexibility that allows smooth positioning within the telescope tube.
