Phonescoping with ED78/82 (1 Viewer)

[KBHC73]

Hi, Does anybody do a bit of Phonescoping with either the ED82 or 78 models? How are the results & do you need a specific phone adapter to fit over the larger eyepieces?

Thanks

I don't have an ED 82 anymore, but I do phonescope with the similar Monarch 82 ED. PhoneSkope adapter works well, with decent results this of a Great Horned Owl.

I have just bought this phone adapter from Viking.
It’s fiddly but results are OK, I imagine with some practice they’ll be shareable.
Fits most phones and most eyepieces
You’ll notice that it’s inexpensive, so if it doesn’t work…..
