Actually, you can :) Adaptors are available that allows you to connect your Smartphone to one of the eyepieces. Simple but effective. I am not certain if you could connect a Nikon Z6 camera to them though. You would need to research that.

@Mark-Anthony of course you don't have to use a telescope to view the Moon. If you want to keep the initial cost fairly low until you get to see how you enjoy the hobby, you could purchase a decent quality pair of binoculars. Personally, I use Olympus DPS-1 10x50 binoculars. They are...
