Sun viewing through a cell phone

Post by Solar Seeker 52 »

Hey Guys

I have a question. I am wanting to view the sun by taking pictures with my cell phone. I have the Solarmaxiii with the double stack. I just purchased a new ocular that a CEMAX 25mm. I know there are many phone adapters out there. Any suggestions on the adapters?

So my question is how good will the pictures come out? Has anybody tried it? I have a Galaxy A21 phone. :P

Thanks!

Jason

I think James (Deepsolar) has done this with quite reasonable results. Hopefully he will reply soon :)
