Saturn

A few weeks ago I saw Saturn for the very first time, it blew me away. The sight was just fantastic, its such a beautiful planet. I couldn't believe my eyes at how much detail I could see, the rings were so clear.

I managed to take a photo through the lens with my iPhone.

If you haven't already I really recommend buying a telescope, the views of the night sky never disappoint.

i think is cool to want to watch and photograph the sky and I understand very well the enthusiasm we all feel watching Saturn and other wonders but to use a phone as photographing device is (still) not the best way to do it; Either just observe or if you want to get into astrophotography make an effort and buy a xbox cam (or other webcam).

I am sure the photo does not reflect the viewing you had of Saturn.

I completely understand that this image does not do the sight justice what so ever and I am not at all claiming that this is the best photograph of the planet but I was still quite impressed with the image considering it was with a phone camera.

I am fairly new to astronomy and don't want to rush into buying a lot of new expensive gear to never use it. I am just simply trying to get a feel of what its like taking photographs through my scope to start with, I wouldn't say that I weren't making an effort.

Thanks for your input anyway.
