Phonemate: Samsung Galaxy S5 Phone to TeleVue Eyepiece Adapter (Telescope/Ocular "projection" into phone camera)

thingiverse

Phonemate attaches a Samsung Galaxy S5 Phone to the TeleVue Eyepiece using an innovative "projection" system that connects the telescope's ocular to the phone's camera. To secure this attachment, a specially designed adaptor is screwed onto the TeleVue Eyepiece with four M3 Nylon screws, ensuring a sturdy and reliable connection. This setup is compatible with DIOPTRX eyepieces, providing an exceptional viewing experience. The TeleVue website (www.televue.com/engine/TV3b_page.asp?id=73&Tab=_phone) offers detailed information on this unique system. For added stability, the phone can be adjusted in the XY/focal plane using a few M3 screws, allowing for precise positioning. A lightweight phone case can also be accommodated within the setup. To further secure the phone, additional means such as rubber bands may be employed. Photos of the setup are available for reference. It's worth noting that the screws used are specifically intended for XY alignment purposes only.
