Astrophotography & Binocular Phone Mount
Now days watching stars in night maybe tuff as increasing light pollution effects the field view. Here I am showing my techniques of sky watching.
Buy Binocular
Buy any binocular which you efforts.
Minimum 10x50 Preferred.
I buy my one for $9(Rs.600/-)
20x50
Don't buy low quality binocular as mine
After Sometime It Starting Pain for eyes. As I don't have the that much budgets so my choice are limited.

Fix your phones camera on eyepiece of binocular. Fix them for steady view by adding Rubber bands or zip ties.
Check on Your Mobile
Adjust the phone if needed for better view. Shoot or Snap can take.
I have 808 preview.
If u shoot video 360 resolution u can get more magnification than binocular
Thus maybe adding camcorder will give u telescope view of things
