Yes, however you will need a after market cell phone mount I'd recommend a GSO Universal cellphone mount, only bad thing about the cellphone mount I mentioned is one of the pads that grabs the eyepiece came off. Just so you know you will be limited to only bright objects, Search YouTube for matthewhknight many videos on this telescope.
