Sunspots. 127mm telescope, and 45 min of practice with my cell phone. I plan to build a better adapter to allow for better pics

I now have an RGB Camera ( SBIG ST-2000XM with CFW-8A COLOR FILTER WHEEL) for my scopes but would be nice to use my iPhone as well.

My daughters birthday is coming up in 3 months.  Think I can convince my wife to let me buy her (and me) a 10" dobsonian?
