Viewing the sun with the nexyz phone mount


Recommended Posts

Hi I’m after some advice, I having been viewing the sun through my skymax127 mak with some great views but as soon as I set up my phone adapter for my iPhone I seem to get glare creeping into the view and the picture is not great quality. I normally can focus and get great results. I am using the Celestron 8-24mm zoom. I normally have it on 24mm but can’t seem to get good results. I’m not sure if I need to try and get the back end of the scope in shade for better pictures 
I have attached a photo of my set up and the quality of photo of the sun and a photo of what quality I can get. 

Any help/advice would be appreciated

You need to create a shade around the eyepiece and phone, just like many of us do for observing the sun. I took some the other day and was hiding under my black hood, trying to keep the glare at bay.
