If you have a telescope sitting idle around the house, then this iPhone add on might be of interest to you. The Astroclip is exactly what it sounds like: an iPhone case that attaches to the eyepiece of a telescope. While I bet serious photographers would prefer a DSLR set up, at $25, this is a relatively inexpensive accessory for anybody wanting to experiment. They are currently raising funds on Kickstarter.com

The AstroClip is designed to work very easily. All you need to take great astrophotography pictures is your iPhone 4, the AstroClip and a telescope. It’s as easy as that. I designed the AstroClip to fit any telescope with a 1.25″ eyepiece. This means it will work with all popular telescopes. All you have to do is tighten the AstroClip to your telescope, pop in your iPhone 4 and your ready to go. – Astroclip
