Digitography/Sighting Scopes

I want to explore lunar photography and local wildlife/bird photography. I use an iPhone for my photos. I’ve tried DSLR several times in the past unsuccessfully. Also, iPhone is physically easier for me to manage...and ALWAYS there 😊

I’d like guidance about which sighting scope to use for both moon and rather close wildlife. Maybe one won’t work for both?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello.
Bill here.
If you want to continue this with me in private, I would be happy to share what I know.
If yes, I will have a few pictures of what I use, up to 500mm. Yes. 500, a lot of power. The first step is a remote and tripod and clamp.
And a simple modification on a hardcase.
Good afternoon.
Bill

I hope this gets to both interested partys. These are what I use with my cell phone camera.
The red lens is a 50x, 5ooomm?
Unless solid, no vibration, no go..
The selfy stick and parts are a start.
The six extra lenses are mostly fisheyes.
The inside of the phone case shows modification.
There are many clipons and cases on line. Look deep. Not expensive.
The pictures.

Thanks! In your message you wrote, “the pictures. If you attached photos taken with the scope and lenses, I did not get them.

I was unsuccessful getting any results when I googled 50x5000 sighting scope. Maybe yours is not a sighting scope but a telescope?

Could you tell me the make and model of yours? That would give me a starting place. Also, the approximate price of yours?

The scopes I’ve looked at range wildly in price.

No photos of the lenses' work. A bit later. The scope? I will try to find it. It is a made for cellphone lens.
Thanks for onterest.
