It's meaningless anyway, unless you have a calibration approach the home page doesn't mention. Aligning a phone to within 10 arcseconds of where your scope is pointing is... ambitious :)
It would be easier if you could use an eyepiece adapter. I have no idea why the page claims "The field of view is typically too small for plate solving to work." for that approach - it works just fine with a FOV of at least 0.2 degrees or so, which is much smaller than what most beginner/intermediate scopes have.
And if you do have a scope with a smaller TFOV, I'd argue you're likely not the target audience for the app. (Yes, you can get there cheaply and as a first scope, but it's not the usual route)
Edit: I want to be clear it's not a diss on the app - it's great. Plate solving at that speed is pretty cool. I just wish it'd work at smaller TFOVs :)
