You get everything you need to capture sharp, detailed images and video: the customer favorite NexYZ smartphone adapter and a Bluetooth shutter release remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatented NexYZ Smartphone Adapter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NexYZ fits any eyepiece from 35mm to 60mm in diameter, including telescopes equipped with 1.25” or 2” eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars, and binoculars. NexYZ also attaches to microscopes with the addition of an included adapter ring, which takes the usable diameter down to 25mm, the size of a standard microscope eyepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NexYZ DX Kit accommodates a wide range of smartphones including the larger “phablets” like the iPhone 8 Plus and latest Samsung Galaxy devices. The phone platform is fully adjustable and can fit any device—usually with the case still on. The secure platform stands up to the weight of these heavier devices with ease, thanks to NexYZ’s strong metal spring and threaded twist lock.

This eliminates blurriness in your images caused by the phone or telescope shaking due to pressure from pressing the button manually.  Pairing your Bluetooth remote to your smartphone for the first time takes only seconds. Detailed instructions are in our quick setup guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eEasy as X-Y-Z\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes patented NexYZ different from other smartphone adapters? The three-axis adjustment. Most adapters rely on you placing your phone perfectly on the platform and only offer limited adjustment in two axes. But NexYZ gives you the power to place your phone on the platform, center it over the eyepiece with the X and Y knobs, and then move up or down over the eyepiece until you have the entire field of view in your shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd even though this adjustment is ultra-precise, it’s still quicker and easier than with other adapters. From start to finish, the process only takes about 30 seconds, including the time it takes to insert the phone into NexYZ, attach NexYZ to an eyepiece, start the camera app, and center the camera over the eyepiece using the knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitching 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, NexYZ’s simple spring-loaded clamps make it easy to remove one device and replace it with another in seconds. NexYZ is the ideal solution for star parties and group bird walks where everyone wants their own shot of the action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also switch your image from portrait to landscape simply by turning the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X-, Y-, and Z-axis to realign your phone with the eyepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e NexYZ is compatible telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes. It does not fit riflescopes. NexYZ works with most phone cases, but if you have an especially large phone case with built-in batteries or a folio-style case, you will need to remove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.celestron.com\/pages\/smartphone-adapter-compatibility\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.celestron.com\/pages\/smartphone-adapter-compatibility\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/files\/Check-Compatibility_300x98px_480x480.png?v=1609872035\" alt=\"\" data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46382018625793,"sku":"81057-CGL","price":58.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/6857\/8817\/files\/81057_NexYZ_3-Axis_Universal_Smartphone_Adapter_Kit_01_047028a4-ce76-4534-bc1c-e7c19446dd5d.jpg?v=1749501867"},{"product_id":"nexstar-130slt-computerized-telescope","title":"NexStar 130SLT Computerized Telescope","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelestron’s innovative NexStar Star Location Telescope (SLT) has been a customer favorite for years thanks to its unique combination of high-quality optics, a user-friendly computerized interface, and a sturdy single fork arm mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis telescope comes with a pre-assembled, adjustable stainless-steel tripod, quick release fork arm, NexStar+ computerized hand control, 130mm Newtonian Reflector optical tube, and lots of bonus accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire telescope kit is a simple, no-tool assembly and fast SkyAlign alignment procedure will have you ready to observe in minutes.
