Planets with a phone

Hello all!

As the planets have appeared I was going to have a go at them with my phone (madness I know). Has anyone tried this?

I'm going to use an old 60/700. Going doing the webcam route I would normally just use a 2x barlow and know that I'd more-or-less be sort of ok, kind of, when it came to resolution and sampling. But I've got to use an eyepiece apparently for it to work with my phone. And then my phone has a lens... Very confusing. How do I pick what magnification to use? Or do I just do it completely visual - i.e. get it looking as good through the eyepiece as I can (80-90x I'm guessing with my 60mm scope) and then line my phone up over the eyepiece?

Many thanks all.
