Best Astro Photography Smart Phone Mount For My Telescope

Articulating Camera Arm https://ebay.us/g7UOWf Ulanzi Tripod Phone Mount https://ebay.us/r1Uua3 It was a 'Strawberry Moon' last night so being an amateur astronomer I thought I'd get the large telescope out and photograph it with my Digital SLR. But unlike professional or well organised astronomers I discovered my camera was dead and the backup batteries were also dead. Is I thought no worries I've use my Nexus 5 with Night Sky facilities (yep you guessed it it was also dead). So not being put off I decide to use my iPhone, which also was low on power so I put it in a fully charged battery case. Then I dug out all the iPhone to telescope and microscope adapters I'd bought but never used on eBay, they were crap, cheap plastic not wide enough or strong enough to hold the phone without it falling out of the mount, or falling off the telescope. Just about to give up I remembered heavy metal articulating arm iPhone and Ulanzi Phone mount I'd been using recently for my Robot Video close up work, with its heavy but all metal will metal jaws.

#ASMR Video Of Solitary Masonry Bees Filling DIY Bee House Holes

This is a relaxing and soothing #ASMR or AMSR video of Solitary and Masonry Bees setting up their homes in my DIY Bee House by filling the Bee House Holes drilled for them to nest in. I designed and built the Bee House during the first week of May 2021after our old purchased insect house had to be repaired. The wood is a section of garden design bed beam which I retrieved from a skip. I was concerned when I set it up that I'd left it too late in the season as the bees used the old house and ignored mine, but as soon as the old one began filling up and hatchlings appeared from the old tubes the DIY Bee House began filling up and is nearly full. I hope you like the video and that it encourages you to design and build your own solitary and Masonry Bee House, this is also a great project for kids to help build, paint or monitor especially as these Bees are placid and have no sting. If your feeling down or depressed put on a pair of headphones and watch this #AMSR video in full screen a loop it is incredibly relaxing and soothing with the bees, a boy and his adopted dogs relaxing in the garden. Or close your eyes and listen to the sounds of Bees, a family, a friend and their dogs relaxing on a summers day. I will be making some more Bee Videos so please make sure you subscribe so you will be informed when I publish other videos. Malcolm aka  @FIXED1T  #bees #beehouse #DIY #ASMR #fixed1tWILDLIFEvideos
