An optical platform system is disclosed that provides alignment of a digital display device (for example a digital camera or a camera enabled smart phone) to a telescope, (for example monoculars or binoculars). The system provides a steady magnified image and mitigates blurry imaging in the digital display. An optical jack stage with x-y-z adjustability may be used to align a mounted digital display device's camera lens with the eyepiece a mounted telescope. Some embodiments may include a reflex finder to assist in the alignment of the camera lens with the eyepiece.
