TL;DR

This was few months ago , i have a celestron 50az powerseeker telescope and i have the skysafari app which i use to view direction and stuff. I took these blurry photos by putting my phone camera on my lens directly(if its blurry its either my hand moving or the light pollution,also street lights are orange blue ).Just wanted to put these out there . I am very new to astrophotography and have zero experience and do it just for the fun so please dont judge the quality of the images.Enjoy!

I have a friend who has a YouTube channel and can take good pictures with smartphones. Here is a link to one of his videos with a review of a smartphone adapter for telescopes.
