Having purchased this wonderful Telescope one can say it's a great Telescope for anyone who likes to get into Astronomy everything about this great Telescope is Excellent by having two eyepieces the 10 mm and the 20 mm Eyepiece is wonderful the eyepieces have rubber eyepiece guards to use when you wear glasses. the Tripod is great too. I have the Celestron Cometron 7 X 50 Binocular and I also have the Celestron Impulse Binocular 10 X 50 I also have the Celestron First Scope which is a reflector and I have the Celestron Star Pointer Red Dot Finderscope attached to my Celestron First Scope. I also have a Celestron Phogographic Video Tripod. All I can say is that Celestron makes and sells great products for Amature Astronomers.

What type of phone telescope mount can I buy for a Samsung galaxy A11 ? Can I use a phone mount with a phone that has 3 cameras ?
We recommend the NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter. You can make adjustments to line up the proper camera lens with the eyepiece.

What planets, Moons, nebulas , and galaxies can you see with this telescope. ?
Most of the planets such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus can be seen in the AstroMaster LT 70AZ telescope from the city. Neptune would appear like a very tiny bluish dot if you can locate it. You will also be able to see bright objects like the Moon, Orion Nebula, star clusters, and double stars. However, if you can use your telescope away from city light pollution, galaxies such as Andromeda, M81 and M82, as well as planetary nebulae and globular clusters will be easily viewable.

The Celestron AstroMaster LT 70AZ Telescope and be adapted to a DSLR using this barlow https://bhpho.to/4ccdNgb and a t-mount adapter such as this one for a Canon DSLR: https://bhpho.to/40ZMsIZ. However, due to the weight of a DSLR the LT-70AZ is not really recommend. Using a smartphone plus this smartphone adapter would be better: https://bhpho.to/3bqiPIf
