Celestron NexGO DX 2-Axis Smartphone Adapter with Bluetooth Remote (#81038)
A fast, flexible digiscoping solution built for beginners and rugged enough for the field.
The Celestron NexGO DX makes it easy to turn your everyday smartphone into a powerful imaging tool. Whether you’re capturing Saturn’s rings through your telescope or photographing microscopic wonders in the classroom, NexGO DX gives you stable, precise alignment with a clever 2-axis adjustment system and a Bluetooth remote that eliminates blur from camera shake. Designed for telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and even microscopes, it’s the compact adapter that does it all.
Universal Fit Across All Your Optics
The NexGO DX fits nearly any eyepiece from 1.0" to 1.75" (25.4mm–44.45mm), including 1.25" telescope eyepieces—the most common size in amateur astronomy. It’s just as comfortable on binoculars, monoculars, spotting scopes, or microscopes. A secure clamping knob lets you tighten the adapter in place without tools, and the padded interior keeps your optics scratch-free.
The adjustable phone platform accommodates phones from 58mm to 103mm (2.28" to 4.06") wide, which includes most models from Apple, Samsung, and Google—even with standard phone cases attached. A special booster insert is included for smaller or older phones under 5” tall.
Two-Axis Fine Adjustment for Easy Framing
Unlike basic smartphone adapters that rely on guesswork or constant repositioning, the NexGO DX features rack-and-pinion X and Y axis knobs that let you precisely align your phone’s camera to the eyepiece. Once centered, you’ll get the full field of view in your shot—every time. Need to switch from one eyepiece to another? A few quick tweaks get you re-centered without starting from scratch.
Shake-Free Imaging with Bluetooth Remote Control
The included Bluetooth shutter remote connects to your iOS or Android phone in seconds, allowing you to take photos or start video recording without touching the screen. No more image blur from pressing the shutter button. It’s an ideal setup for long-exposure shots, astrophotography, or capturing fine detail through a microscope.
Foldable and Field-Ready
The NexGO DX is built tough for outdoor use with a durable metal frame, reinforced polymer body, and aluminum components in all the right places. When not in use, it folds down to a compact size for easy storage in your gear bag. Whether you're heading out for a night under the stars or a biology lab session, the NexGO DX is ready to go where you go.
Note: The NexGO works with most standard phone cases, but oversized folio or battery-pack cases may need to be removed for best fit.
