Hello yall.....recently I've been taking a few pics of the moon with my Nokia phone and my fs 120 reflector telescope.

At first I wasn't sure it was gona work. but with a little time I got these pics.

There are 2 others that I took of the full moon but there fairly blurry due to high light reflection off the moon.

Tell me what yall think.

Had your thinker on overtime and it seemed to pay off for you Tim......Nice shots!!

The first one you posted is my favorite, I will have to add it as a background to the puter. Good job!!

Are you sure that's not a chunk of cheese? Hehe

I like these, thank you!

Sure, my pleasure. Once I figure out how to take pics of things such as Andromada I will post them in this topic or one like this.

It looks like cheese from a distance but by now its gota be some old cheese.....I wouldn't eat it. Its even got dust on it!

If anybody has some ideas for how to take pictures of lower light lvl objects then please let me know.

I've been thinking of pulling the telescope back out because its getting colder, not sure why colder weather is when i feel like doing this but anyways. i may be trying to get more moon pics in the next few months. if i get some more ill post em here.

Here's one taken with my Nikon P900.

This is Jupiter and 3 moons. When I took this I didn't see the moons. Taken with my Nikon P900. It has an 83x optical zoom. The new model has 120X optical zoom.

Great timing that you post those pics Leonard, i took my telescope out last night and tried my best to take a few pics of things, the moon wasn't out yet tho. you're very lucky to have that camera, im pretty sure it has better zoom then my telescope. very nice pics!

This is jupiter and 3 of its moons as well, pic is a bit blurry but its the best i could do whilst holding a phone camera up to a telescope eye piece.

I'm surprised you can get those pictures using a phone camera. Here's a moon shot taken during the daytime.

What an incredible pic, depending on the weather in the next few nights ill try to get some more pics.
hoping for no wind and a good clear sky.

Those are fantastic pictures guys!
Keep looking up everyone.

I recently ordered a smartphone mount for the telescope i am using, should arrive sometime in the next 2 months.
Once i get it ill try my best to get better pics of the Moon/Jupiter and post them here.

A few nights ago i was able to take this pic of Saturn, the rings are not visible due to instability in the photo + light blur.

I'll have to find it. I'd like to see if I can see the rings.
