  1. It depends on what your aim is. What I take from your post is that you’re not really wanting to do/expecting proper astrophotography - you just want to know if it’s possible to get something with your phone. Well you’re not going to get much detail with a smart phone but if you just want to just take no frills photos to convey as close as you can what you see through the eyepiece then snapping galaxies is entirely possible. A good app to use is Nightcap as it allows you to adjust exposure time and ISO. For galaxies these will need to be close to maximum. You can also set up a timer and turn on light boost. You’ll have to set up the internal programmer to around 10 seconds which will allow the camera to take 10x1 second shots, so the ability to track will be a requirement. Here’s some to the results you can expect in a bortle 6 junk sky area with no fancy processing. Again, they won’t win prizes but will convey to others what you are seeing - sort of. I see the purpose as more akin to sketching without the ability to actually draw anything.
