A great way to get astrophotos with your phone is with a telescope adapter. The Digiscoping Adapter is a MagSafe lens mount for iPhone 12 and up that fits over 1¼” and 2″ eyepieces and is simple to adjust and align. The adapter works with the iPhone’s wide-angle (1x) lens and, on Pro models, the telephoto lens.
