Nascent celestial imagers can take their first steps into the world of astro-imaging or digiscoping with the NexGo Smartphone Adapter from Celestron. For images and video with sharp detail, NexGo provides everything you need.
Adapts to any eyepiece with a diameter between 25.4 mm (1.0") and 44.45 mm (1.75"). This includes most telescopes with 1.25" eyepieces, as well as spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes.
NexGo accepts a wide array of both the latest and previous generation smartphones from the likes of Apple, Samsung, and Google. Its fully adjustable platform is capable of fitting any device, more often than not with the case still attached. Some older phone models, however, may not be tall enough at 5" or less to fit and may need to use the included booster.
Precise Alignment
For alignment precision, the NexGo boasts rack and pinion fine adjustment X- and Y- axis knobs. A bright orange clamping knob can be tightened to secure the unit around the eyepiece. In addition, the NexGo can be folded up into a more compact size to maximize storage space and make transport easier.
Robust Construction
Built to withstand years of rigorous use in the field, the NexGo’s secure platform boasts the kind of rigid construction (metal frame and polymer body) needed for high durability well into the future.
Easy as Ever
Contrary to most adapters that depend on the user perfectly placing their phone on the platform while offering only minimal adjustment capability, the NexGo features X and Y adjustment knobs for keeping your phone centered over the eyepiece until your shot contains the full field of view.
From start to finish, the process only takes about 30 seconds, including the time it takes to insert the phone into NexGo, attach NexGo to an eyepiece, start the camera app, and center the camera over the eyepiece using the knobs.
Switching phones, eyepieces, or optical instruments, requires only slight adjustments to re-center the camera over the new eyepiece. If multiple people want to capture a shot through your optic, NexGo’s simple spring-loaded clamps make it easy to remove one device and replace it with another in seconds. NexGo is the ideal solution for star parties and group bird walks where everyone wants their own shot of the action.
Easily shift from portrait to landscape mode and vice versa with simple turn of the padded eyepiece clamp and some X- and Y- axis adjustments to make sure your phone and eyepiece are realigned.
NOTE: NexGo is compatible with telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes. NexGo works with most phone cases, but if you have an especially large phone case with built-in batteries or a folio-style case, you may need to remove it.
