Are you trying to use a photographic lens (in principle a "Telescope") as eyepiece ("Ocular")? Or do you want to know how to configure this as "Telescope" in combination with your camera (a.k.a. "Sensor")?

I would likd to know how to configure my telescope for my phone camera. The problem is my phone controls my telescope. So when I use my camera I have to reconnect my telescope.

We cannot help here. Probably some general astronomy forum?

If you don't have an eyepiece, you don't configure one. For technical reasons, there should be one configured, but it is not used. You are using "Sensor(camera)+Telescope(telephoto lens)".

I added my camera as New Telescope named Nikon D7100, then each lens in Ocular List. When you add your camera, it asks for sensor size, etc. You can find all the information about that by googling the specs for your camera and lenses. After that is done, you can use the settings on screen to view what your view for your photo will be. Have fun.

Sigh. A camera is no telescope. A camera lens is no ocular. I refer to the User Guide for further information.
