Aim Your Telescope Fast With ASTROHOPPER - (2025 Update)

Mount your smartphone on your telescope and launch AstroHopper. Congratulations, you have one of the most revolutionary aiming devices ever devised for amateur astronomy. AstroHopper is a phone webpage "app" that turns any smartphone into a precision telescope finderscope device. It's given away at no charge by the developer... and it works really well. I've included some small updates for 2025. #astrohopper #smartphone #astrophotography Summary Of 2025 Video Updates: 1) Added demo of the new Keep Screen On option 2) Added section about many new phone bed options 3) Eliminated long drawn-out obsolete discussion of magnetic attachment methods. 4) Reduced overwhelming music volume 5) Added "zoom-in" on a few demo sections to clarify screen 6) Overall tighter editing. Even with additions, it is 1.3 minutes shorter. //ASTROHOPPER WEBSITE// https://artyom-beilis.github.io/astrohopper.html //3D PRINTABLE SMARTPHONE PLATFORM FILE// https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6052282 //ASTROHOPPER Developer Change Log Notes// https://github.com/artyom-beilis/skyhopper/blob/main/Changelog.md /// AMAZON AFFILIATE LINKS (Note: I earn a small commission from these links) /// RED HOPE Adventure Scifi Novel Series: Kindle Edition: https://amzn.to/49O9bud Paperback: https://amzn.to/4aPRc7Y Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3WhhXOw /// AMAZON AFFILIATE LINKS (Note: I earn a small commission from these links) /// Celestron Starsense Small Dobsonian: https://amzn.to/4kkd0Nw 12-PACK OF SUCTION CUPS: https://amzn.to/3Jizs9E Velcro strips to attach your phone: https://amzn.to/3WHmub0 Best Smartphone Adapter EVER: https://amzn.to/3MYYnBF Best Value Set Of Upgraded Eyepieces: https://amzn.to/3Y7MYmn Best Overall Red Dot Finder: https://amzn.to/3UQVPJr Economy Smartphone adapter: https://amzn.to/3WfKS2e Bluetooth button: https://amzn.to/3OBpW1i (prices have risen) Best book for new astronomers: "Turn Left At Orion": https://amzn.to/3PDxLo4 CHEAP 8 inch Dobsonian Telescope: https://amzn.to/49TH12l NICE 8 inch Dobsonian Telescope: https://amzn.to/4bbxIuU STARTER Dobsonian Telescope: https://amzn.to/3T5HzeL RED HOPE Adventure Scifi Novel Series: Kindle Edition: https://amzn.to/49O9bud Paperback: https://amzn.to/4aPRc7Y Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3WhhXOw *** My new SciFi short story prequel, right here on YouTube *** https://youtu.be/ZzB4nm-4cL4 YouTube NOTES: 1) This video complies with the YouTube Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. 2) Astrohopper is open-source, available to everybody at no charge. 3) Soundtrack used is from YouTube's Creator Library 4) All products shown were purchased by me with my own money.
