I've had this telescope for about a week, I'm still figuring out a lot of the aligning part of the telescope but what i do is I find my object and try my best to center it in the red dot finder, and then I use my phone and phone mount, but if you want to get better quality id get a camera for the telescope, and honestly if you want good photos, here's the thing, you don't take a photo at all, since I'm using my phone i record a video for about 30 seconds in alignment of the object, then importing it to my PC and using 2 programs, one called pipp for centering the object in the video, and the other called AutoStakkert. I recommend searching up some tutorials on how to use those.
