I did not know this existed ,pretty cool .

helps you locate outer space stuff

That is really cool.

I thought so,
I wanted one of those scope until they said that everything thing you see is inverted .

The digiscoping stuff has me curious.

If I may ask, why is an inverted (and possibly also flipped) view a problem?

The primary digiscoping I would be doing would be wildlife .

With a $200.00 ,point and shoot camera.

I've never taken pictures upside down before ,
I am just guessing that it could present challenges

Especially if one would want to include landscape.

I could be wrong

My mistake. I thought this was for "outer space stuff".
You are correct though. I had a neighbor over who saw my dobsonians and thought they might make a good spotting scope for long range shooting.
If they are all in the bullseye, yeah. Otherwise it would present some complications, for most anyway.

I night take a dozen pictures of the moon ,but that isall the outer space I could imagine shooting.

I know a couple of people get all kinds of giddy when they locate a blue and pink colored dot , or
a greenish dot with a white dot next to it,
But
I don't "get it".

I used to go to the University of Iowa observatory , as a teenager.

They would use their giant scope and show us very clear views of a lot of very cool stuff.

That was facinating experiance.

That is really cool. I took a quick look to see if I could buy that mount for my telescope. Man that would be a cool upgrade.

I see the celestron through the lens mount , but would like to try it using the alignment tool.

The systems as reviewed are very crude approaches to doing what Go-To or Push-To mounts accomplish in a much better (and more expensive) way.
Nor are these scopes ideal for terrestrial use. For one, they are open on the end, unlike spotting scopes.
So not ideal for digiscoping either.
A spotting scope and a mount for a smart phone would be much better for digiscoping.

Are Android phones ,smart phones ?
