Decided to try my hand at some celestial photography, starting with some simple astronomy-grade binoculars rather than going all out with the telescope route.

Equipment used :

Binoculars :
Celestron Skymaster 25×70 [LINK]

Tripod Adapter :
Celestron 93524 [LINK]

Smartphone Adapter :
Celestron 81035 [LINK]

Tripod :
Sunpak 620-020 [LINK]

General notes :

25×70 Binoculars means 25x magnification, and 70mm Objective lens.

The 25x magnification works great for the moon and a few smaller objects like the ISS, however isn’t enough to view objects further away, for example Saturn’s rings.

The Exit Pupil on these binoculars is only 70/25 = 2.8mm, which is not a lot of light entering the pupils. This shows in dimmer stars and further objects.
