Are there any telescopes for smartphones ,
that also have remote Wifi Lens ability,
for when its too cold or hot at night and you want to stay inside?

or a wifi binocular lens built into a headband

If you want to view the night sky you can get some really good telescopes now at reasonable prices that come with good software, personally I wouldn’t muck around with smartphone to do this.

I wonder how good wifi could stream a high definition signal from a telescope outside to a 30+ inch 4K screen, 8k, 16k, etc inside?
How high would one need to go up to, 24k, 32k 48k ,64k, 128k, 256k, 512k, 1020k, 2040k?
Or run a fiber optic cable in as another option?

Do some already do that?
How well does a Lens translate what it sees to a computer screen?
i guess it depends on what you actually want to look at with the ‘scope.
How high does the resolution need to go to be near that of a lens or rival a lens, but at a bigger scale on a monitor?
If you could switch from 4k screen to a 2040k screen would people notice any difference?
here is a good set up and cheap

Well, the stars and planets don’t move much in a short period of time, so you could probably stream at 19 baud at any resolution you like, if you want to watch the stars on your telly. You can get mounts for your telescope that will accept a mobile phone.
My experience with digital lenses and cameras has been pretty disappointing.
I had a little USB camera that was pretty much useless for looking at anything other than The Moon. It just didn’t have the contrast or definition to look on stars or planets.
I had better luck with my small point and shoot camera on a special clamp type thingy similar to the smartphone one above. But once again it was hard to adjust the telescope focus to get a really clear picture. Looking at the digital screen on the camera was not clear enough to get that absolutely sharp picture.
Really you probably need to spend money getting a decent and proper digital SLR camera and lens mount.
That’s just for the camera to get a good picture. Whatever you are looking at you will need to adjust the telescope every minute or so. So you will need an electrically driven telescope too, with GOTO feature.
That is just to stand next to it. If you want it all wifi so you can sit inside and watch it… well, you are probably looking at the cost of a small car.
wrong one – try this. Jupiter & moons
All I can add is that I have a usb mini microscope that runs off my desktop, and a usb cable that would allow to plug it into a tablet or mobile phone.
But why not do what I do, take zoom photos with a digital camera, mine has 60 times optical zoom, and download later.?

Oh, I see why, the op asks for wifi lens control so you can stay warm inside.

What you want is SMARTS. http://www.astro.yale.edu/smarts/
Operate a 1 metre diameter telescope from your home over the internet.
“Rich Science Accessible to All
“The SMARTS consortium operates four 1-meter class telescopes on Cerro Tololo, Chile. Membership in SMARTS is open to individuals or institutions, including international partners.”
>>>Oh, I see why, the op asks for wifi lens control so you can stay warm inside.
I was just thinking.
You could split the wifi lens signal into as many streams as you want.
Great for multiple lens viewing at once or a whole class of students.
