Success

At least I think it's a success.
Jupiter and four of its moons, taken with my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G using my Meade telescope.
The phone was set for maximum ISO and 1/10th of a second. It was still handheld because I couldn't line up the phone lens while using the cellphone mount adaptor.
It was a challenge and there were a lot of failures I've discarded.

It looks like you're getting close. I would try a faster shutter.

Thanks for looking and for your comment. I'm not sure if a faster shutter speed is feasible. Going faster I didn't even see the moons, so don't know if they would show.

Have you looked at any of these for using your cell with your telescope?

It looks like they fit over the eyepiece and you can view/adjust before capturing image.

I have one similar to some of these, but it has been difficult to use.
Perhaps a different style would work better for me.
I'll take a closer look at some of these and decide if any would do better.
Thanks for the link.

I would just get adaptors for your regular camera and use the scope as a lens. Adaptors pretty cheap. You need 2 things the piece that goes to the scope and then the camera adaptor. Maybe called T ring and t adaptor

Something to consider alright. I was looking at some last night.

Easiest way to use a scope. Must check on way to attach to scope. Some slide in some screw in
