Change of plane
I would like to change the plane of the axis. By placing the phone parallel to the optic axis (flat on the tube)

@Alva Couch, apart from the image flip due to the mirror / prism, the app needs to know that camera view axis is pointing in a different direction than the camera's original axis. This is because the app uses the predicted direction of the camera to speed up the plate solving.
So, yes, a mirror or prism would be required, and yes, some support in app would also be required.

You can do this with SkEye and SkEye pro, and can then connect your camera to a telescope for digiscoping while it's still in this position. I can't see how this would work properly if you're using the camera by itself, unless you have a front-surface mirror attached. This -- in turn -- wouldn't require app changes; you'd just need to be able to flip your image. Come to think of it, that is a possible app change that would make this possible.
