Foreword:
Astronomy is something that many people pay more attention to. This knowledge is included in the textbooks when we were in school. Many people want to own an astronomical telescope. The product I bring to you today is a Celestron Smart Eye 60 mobile phone shooting astronomical telescope. , it is very suitable for players who are just starting to get into astronomy. It is easy to install and not complicated to use. If you have children at home, you can also use it to educate children about astronomy. Let’s experience this Celestron together. Huiyan 60 mobile phone shooting astronomical telescope.
First, let’s take a look at what is included in this Celestron Smart Eye 60 mobile phone shooting telescope. Take out all the items from the box. They are the astronomical telescope, the triangular stabilizing bracket, and the installation and operating instructions.
First, let’s take a look at this tripod. In terms of volume, it is relatively small and is a desktop tripod. However, in terms of material, it is still made of enough materials. It is made of aluminum alloy. In addition, the tripod is designed with two There are two heights, one is 20 cm and the other is 23 cm. When adjusting the height, you only need to twist the positioning ring in the middle.
The connection port between the tripod and the astronomical telescope is also designed with a universal 1/4 screw port, so this Celestron Eye 60 mobile phone shooting astronomical telescope is very simple to install and use. Its universal port design is also suitable Different equipment, such as a large tripod like that used for SLR cameras.
From the appearance design point of view, Celestron Smart Eye 60 mobile phone shooting astronomical telescope is relatively fashionable. It does not have a complicated mechanism like a professional astronomical telescope, because it is a desktop lightweight astronomical telescope. I learned the product information from the official, Its type is a Newtonian reflection type, its aperture is 60 mm, and its focal length is 240 mm.
Celestron Smart Eye 60 mobile phone shooting astronomical telescope provides two viewing modes, one is to watch directly through the eyepiece, and the other is to install a mobile phone to shoot and watch. You can see that a mobile phone holder is designed on it, taking into account the user’s mobile phone type. It is inconsistent and the shooting angles are also different. It is also designed with positioning screws that can be adjusted. You only need to find the appropriate angle and position and tighten the black screw above.
Although the Celestron Smart Eye 60 mobile phone shooting astronomical telescope is small in size, it is still relatively sophisticated. There are quite a lot of places that can be adjusted on the body. For example, the eyepiece can be focused and adjusted by twisting, and the mobile phone holder can adjust the angle. and height, so it is convenient for us to use and can be used quickly without particularly cumbersome operating steps.
When installing a mobile phone to shoot, you need to align the lens of the mobile phone with the eyepiece. Today’s mobile phones are designed with multiple lenses. We need to find the main camera of our mobile phone and then align it with the eyepiece. If it is not aligned, there will be no picture in the mobile phone camera interface. Yes, you can check the mobile phone screen to see if it is aligned. If a circular light source appears on the screen, it means it is aligned. Then you can adjust the eyepiece or the focus of the mobile phone to adjust the clarity.
Celestron Smart Eye 60 mobile phone shooting astronomical telescope is also designed with protective measures, such as a protective cover on the eyepiece, and a cover on the front of the astronomical lens. Wear a protective cover when not in use to prevent dust from entering. After all, this optical lens is stained It’s hard to take care of when it’s dusty, and it’s very convenient to take off the protective cover when using it.
It’s best to talk about my experience in using it. You may not be used to it at first. The mirror principle makes it a bit confusing to find the lunar target with human eyes. But once you get used to it, you’ll get used to it. In fact, there’s a little trick, that Just move the telescope and see if there is a reflection effect on the eyepiece, which means you have found the target. Then fix the angle of the bracket, install the mobile phone on it, adjust the clarity, and then shoot.
Let me show you the effect of taking pictures of the moon. My phone is a Redmi note 10. When taking pictures of the moon at night, the phone needs to be set to professional mode. At this time, the iOS should be set to the lowest level. Mine can be set to 50, and then the shutter is adjusted. Speed, switch to different shutter speeds to preview the screen on the phone, and select the clearest mode. I adjusted the shutter speed to 1/800. In addition, if you want a large picture of the moon, you need to adjust the eyepiece focal length. It is best to directly adjust it to the maximum, and then adjust it. Regarding the focal length of the mobile phone, I adjusted the focal length to 5x for the greatest effect.
In addition to observing astronomy in daily life, we can also use it as a telescope, such as viewing some distant scenery or buildings. Here are some ultra-distant buildings photographed with it.
Summarize:
I personally think this product is quite good. Although it cannot achieve the effect of a professional-grade astronomical telescope, its price is there. You can experience the fun of astronomy for less than 300 yuan, and Celestron The Smart Eye 60 mobile phone shooting astronomical telescope is specially designed for beginners. It will be better to replace it with a more professional one after the user becomes familiar with it. After all, astronomy also has its own difficulties, so it is right for us to start with the simplest one.
