You are correct that the Barlow magnifies the view.
The Andromeda Galaxy is high in the sky and great for viewing, and there are some terrific bright nebulae near the belt of Orion that would be fun to look at.
It's funny how often the recommended solution to an astronomy problem is "spend money", but you might want to see if you can find a holder for your phone to keep it still while you're taking pictures.
The Moon is going to be a great target for smartphone work, and you might get some pretty exciting shots of Saturn when it's visible again. If you buy the right filter for your scope, you can even shoot pictures of the Sun, but that is super-dangerous if you don't know what you're doing so for the love of Bog please read up on it first!
Orion might also be doable. Other deep-sky objects will be a lot more challenging. There's a reason people spend thousands of dollars on this stuff!
May you find joy in the journey!
Thankyou is there any chance of being pointed in the right direction of a phone holder

Thankyou very much I might just get up early one morning on a clear night so if I’m getting it right the Barlow and the 10mm would be my strongest lens option to use I did try they last night my eyes were hurting after a while lol

Hello everyone
ive got a sky watcher that has come with these lenses I’ve guessed the Barlow doubles what ever other lens I’ve put in it but I’m not sure what is stronger with the other two. I looked at Mars last night just looked like a brighter star I’m waiting for the moon lol I would also love to be to take a photo but I only have my phone 😢 any advice or pointing me in the right direction or better lenses would be appreciated
thanks
Andy
