Since it launched in 2014, RASA technology has become the go-to choice for space surveillance and satellite tracking. National defense contractors, professional research astronomers, and governments trust RASA to detect tiny pieces of debris and space junk, keeping our vital communications satellites safe in orbit.

With its light, rigid frame, this accessory allows you to connect any smartphone to any telescope eyepiece with an outside diameter of 45mm or smaller. The additional magnification provided by the eyepiece allows your phone to capture great images of the Moon, planets, and terrestrial targets like birds and wildlife.  This smartphone adapter installs easily by clamping over the top of an eyepiece.  The smartphone is held in position with the help of bungee cords that securely lock your phone in place. While the vast majority of smartphones can be used with the case on, some very large and\/or bulky phone cases (such as folio style cases) may need to be removed for the phone to fit in the adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStarry Night Software\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload Celestron’s Starry Night Software and learn about the night sky, celestial objects, and how to plan your next observing session.
