Tri-axis smartphone adapter Moon pics with 5-inch scope

[Ben the Ignorant]

Yesterday I showed a few pics made with this new Celestron 3-axis smartphone adapter they call the NexYZ, after you attach it to the eyepiece you can move the phone left/right and fore/aft to center its camera on the eyelens, then a third knob lets you adjust the height, like you do with your eye to seek the sweet spot of eye relief and full field. I'll review it when I've used it more, today I only want to present more photos.

I was tempted to crop them, or change the brightness/contrast settings but no, honest results with defects. 15 acceptable images out of 82. Each framing got several pics, maybe someone who knows how to stack them can play with these images? I'd like to know what they hold if two or three files are enough to make a stacking. Yesterday's pics were through an 80mm f/7 apo at 140x, these were shot thanks to a 127mm f/10 Schmidt-Cass at 96x, 127x and 178x.

 

First series, 96x, Hyperion 13mm:

 

Second series, 127x, Hyperion 10mm:

 

Third set, 178x Sky-Watcher Panorama 7mm:

 

Another part of the moon with the 7mm:

 

Last set of pictures at 178x:

 

How much of this would be usable for processing, and how much should be dumped?

I'll follow your posts about this with interest.  In particular I'm curious how quickly/reliably you can get it satisfactorily lined up with "smaller" targets.  I've got what I guess is a 2D adaptor:

It's fairly good for lining it up for the moon, but getting it perfectly centred (and at the right eye relief distance) for Jupiter/Saturn/Mars is very problematic.  Great when you manage but more often than not I give up on it before then.

This is the one I'm using:

I haven't tried on planets yet. But even the Moon was difficult to center at 178x, so I flooded the objective with a flashlight to illuminate the eyelens. The flare patterns in the eyepiece were alien! But it worked.

Thanks for the link.  And, yep I've been there.  I went for pointing it at a nearby streetlight.
