Abstract

Embodiments are directed to an apparatus incorporating a smart phone and a celestial viewing device. A mounting device includes a bracket that is capable of holding a smart phone on a telescope or a pair of binoculars. This serves to support a user in viewing celestial objects in the sky, when the smart phone is running an application that assists the user in locating the celestial objects. The apparatus advantageously provides for finding stars, planets, constellations, satellites, and the like. The apparatus allows for the user to manipulate the celestial viewing device without being concerned about or inconvenienced by the placement or handling of the smart phone. Additionally, the apparatus positions the smart phone in an orientation necessary to synchronize information shown on the smart phone with the field of view of the celestial viewing device, greatly improving the user's ability to locate and view desired celestial objects.
