VGEBY Monocular Telescope, 40 x 60 HD Mini Phone Camera Lens Telescopes Lens with Tripod Suitable for More Smartphones

Product Information

This smart WiFi telescope features a tripod that offers an accessory tray that is designed to keep your eyepieces or your smartphone safe and nearby. The tripod is completely collapsible to ensure that you can easily store it anywhere you want. The integrated smartphone adapter means you can mount your phone to the eyepiece to take photos. You can also easily mount a digital SLR to the telescope with a low-cost adapter (this is available separately), although be mindful of the loading weight of this instrument when attaching additional pieces of kit. This one’s a bit of a novelty, but it can produce some usable results. Often touted as a flagship feature, the presence of a ‘Moon mode’ on a smartphone camera is a giveaway that the manufacturer is providing a new all-powerful digital ‘periscope’ lens. On such cameras you just point your smartphone’s camera at the Moon, spread your fingers on the viewfinder to adjust the zoom to 10x or more, and your smartphone will use artificial intelligence to automatically recognise the Moon using feature detection and recommend ‘Moon mode' to help optimize the shot. Cue a half-decent close-up for which your smartphone already knows the detail and color sharpening settings for. PhoneSkope! Two words put together that mean you can easily use your Smartphone on a telescope for picture taking, video making or simply viewing. PhoneSkope cases add just a couple of millimeters extra to the size of your Smartphone while at the same time naturally allow you to use all the normal functions of your phone. Afocal photography is a great way to obtain excellent quality images of the Moon and more using a smartphone, though it does also require a telescope, a spotting scope or a pair of binoculars supported by a tripod. For guidance on which ones to buy, have a look at our round-up of the best telescopes and best binoculars currently available.

Turn on the mount and it broadcasts a wireless signal that you use to connect the telescope to your device. Although ’startrails’ is designed for one thing, it works equally as good for catching unpredictable meteors (which is handy if there are any meteor shower peaks predicted) as well as passing satellites and passes of the International Space Station. For the latter, use NASA’s ‘Spot The Station’ service to find out times for your location. It takes about five minutes to cross the night sky.The best star gazing apps also usually have event alerts, to tell you when something interesting is happening in the night sky above you. Experimenting with ‘Moon mode’The Vaonis Stellina Observation Station and Hybrid Telescope features a Sony CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) sensor, making it capable of producing 6.4MP images with a resolution of 3096 x 2080. Image formats are in JPEG and Raw, with the former readily shareable on social media. Sky-Watcher prides itself in creating an instrument that stops chromatic aberration – also known as color fringing – from ruining views and images taken through the SkyMax-180 PRO. We were pleased to find that no purple-blue tints are visible along the limb of luminous targets such as the Moon and Jupiter, which both dazzle at magnitudes -12.6 and -2.7.

If you're starting smartphone astrophotography through a telescope from scratch, why not get yourself a scope with a smartphone adapter already included?

Camera 2 for iOS Camera 2 for iOS Not to be confused with the best computerized telescopes, smart telescopes are motorized and come equipped with both artificial intelligence (AI) and camera sensors. They use AI to align themselves with the night sky, providing apps that make it easy to ‘go to’ any object you want at the touch of a button. However, what makes the best smart telescopes so addictive is that they also take incredible images of all kinds of objects in the night sky. On the whole, the instrument is easy to set up and use, giving you speedy access to a wide range of targets. The mount features a DSLR shutter release port for camera control, but after our experience with it, the telescope itself is well suited to general observation and photography.A lot of telescopes on the market provide an inverted view of the object you are observing. That can be very confusing for those who are just starting to observe the night sky. That is why this smart refractor telescope features an erect view of the object you are observing. The eVscope eQuinox is not perfect, but compared to your average small reflector telescope the views this smart telescope affords of deep-sky objects are astounding. With resolution increasing via firmware updates, the already very clever algorithms inside the eVscope eQuinox’s onboard computer will only get better. And now, Wi-Fi controlled mounts and telescopes have ushered in accessibility for a new generation of smartphone and tablet users, young and old.
