Okay so I took an image last night and the only tweaking I did was sharpness and clarity. I was looking at Orion nebula and i think I got an image of it when I wasn't trying to. I need ideas or opinions.

That's a real yummy raspberry colour you've got there!

Just need some cream

Was the colour enhanced in processing?

Did you attach a camera with a T ring or hold the camera to the eyepiece? Congratulations on your first attempt with the beautiful Orion Nebula! I'm sure you'll be making many more

Need a few more details before commenting really! Unless something has gone wrong with the upload, that doesn't really look like an image in the normal sense.

Orion is fairly bright, and can be imaged with most equipment designed for astro photography. I dont know if anyone has succeeded with an a-focal orion pic.

If provide more info, you will get more comments to help you out

My 70mm scope, either my 40mm or 25mm ep.. I think the color did get a bit enhanced. I was just messing around with my iPhone camera and a new imaging app

Ahh ok, that makes more sense! 

It would be very difficult to get decent images of DSO's via an iPhone. You would however stand a good chance of getting some nice images of the moon or even jupiter! 

Most DSO's are taken using a DSLR camera or a dedicated CCD.

Still, you have taken an image of something that a lot of people will never see!

Yeah I been trying to get Jupiter but they come out too bright to see the detail . The moon I get lucky 1/20 images (I just snap the shutter several times and see what I get) but this DSo is a first for me . I'm A bit in awe and pleasantly surprised
