Hey, nobody would have questioned the worse quality cameras that astrophotographers were doing this with 20 years ago. Even though it’s your phone now, it counts!
Phones are arguably some of the most powerful consumer cameras ever built. That Nikon or Canon might have more funny buttons and settings, but your phone camera is pretty powerful on its own.
Hell my phone camera now is advanced enough that it has the ability to do “astrophotography” on its own without a telescope. The pixel series of phones after 4 has an astrophotography mode, the “ai” processing slightly corrects for star trailing. It’s been pretty crazy to just point my phone up and catch Andromeda or the Orion nebula!
I “do astrophotography.”
…I strap my phone to a telescope and I’ve been loving it lol
I did macro photography for a while by flipping my tele lens and holding it up to the mount the wrong way.
…why did I never think of this? Ingenious.
I got ADHD (why I did it) and got lucky (it didn’t break).
And I thought digiscoping was janky ghetto photography. This is just next level janky!

That’s true and I can just plug it into my computer afterwards and do post processing!

Strap your phone to a telescope?
So it’s a tele-phone?
Wait a min…
