There's no definitve answer, what scope did you get for xmas? there's no harm starting with a phone adaptor, they're fairly inexpensive. Photography got me into the hobby, so there's no prerequisite to do visual astronomy first.

I got the omegon N 150/750 EQ3

I got a telescope for Christmas and I really like to observe things with my own eyes but I also like to show people the things I saw but as you might imagine, it's really difficult to take a picture with my phone and bare hands. My question is if I should wait with astrophotography or if I could already start with a phone adapter for example. I also don't know if I should spend money on a phone adapter or if I should wait sometime and start with a dedicated astrophotography camera.

I am considering a phone adapter so I can take pictures of the orion nebula for example but I don't know if I should wait to buy one because maybe I haven't done visual astronomy enough. What should I do?
