Although some Celestron models come with this accessory thrown into the price, plenty of them don't. And as we've seen a good amount of telescope deals landing this year from other brands, it's likely that there are some new scopes sitting in people's backyards without this little feature available. 

Compatible with most telescope eyepieces - and most smartphones - the adapter can be secured to your eyepiece through tightening knobs that secure your phone in place. It doesn't just work on telescopes though, as it can also be used on binoculars, monoculars and spotting scopes too. Here, it works through the same principle; simply secure your phone in place, then secure the adapter to your eyepiece to line up your photo.

Smartphones in general are a useful little tool for astronomy, as they can be packed with some of the best stargazing apps and provide a handy flashlight in the dark. When you combine your cell and telescope with this little gadget, it provides an easy introduction to smartphone astrophotography, too.

There's no word on when this deal may end, so you may want to move quickly if you want to snap it up for your wintertime stargazing.
