For those who just want to dip a toe in the astro-imaging or digiscoping waters without jumping in and making a full commitment can use this Celestron NexGo Universal Smartphone Adapter. Everything needed to capture sharp, detailed images and video with your smart device is provided by this NexGo adapter.

Adapts to any eyepiece with a diameter between 25.4 mm (1.0") and 44.45 mm (1.75"). This includes most telescopes with 1.25" eyepieces, as well as spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes.

The Celestron NexGo Adapter is capable of holding an extensive range of smart devices including the latest from Apple, Samsung, and Google. In most instances, the fully adjustable phone platform will be able to accommodate your device even with the case still on. A booster is included for older phones measuring 5" or less in height to ensure compatibility.

Precise Alignment

Sporting rack and pinion X- and Y- fine adjustment knobs, the NexGo offers precise alignment and collapses down into a smaller size for easy transport and maximized storage between uses. Simply tighten the orange clamping knob to secure the adapter to your eyepiece.

Robust Construction

Built to withstand years of rigorous use in the field, the NexGo’s secure platform boasts the kind of rigid construction (metal frame and polymer body) needed for high durability well into the future.

Easy as Ever

Most adapters rely on you placing your phone perfectly on the platform and only offer limited adjustments. But NexGo gives you the power to place your phone on the platform, center it over the eyepiece with the X and Y adjustment knobs until you have the entire field of view in your shot.

Although setup entails inserting your smartphone into the NexGo, attaching the NexGo to an eyepiece, opening the camera app, and using the knobs to center the camera over the eyepiece, the entire process only takes roughly 30 seconds from start to finish.

Switching phones, eyepieces, or optical instruments, requires only slight adjustments to re-center the camera over the new eyepiece. If multiple people want to capture a shot through your optic, NexGo’s simple spring-loaded clamps make it easy to remove one device and replace it with another in seconds. NexGo is the ideal solution for star parties and group bird walks where everyone wants their own shot of the action.

Switching between landscape and portrait image styles is accomplished by turning the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X- and Y-axis so that your phone and eyepiece can be realigned.

NOTE: NexGo is compatible with telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes. NexGo works with most phone cases, but if you have an especially large phone case with built-in batteries or a folio-style case, you may need to remove it.
