I noticed quite a few pictures on here from people using their phone or compact.I was just wondering exactly how they're getting them.Some of them look quite decent.

The camera I use is a Lumix TZ18,and honestly I always leave it on the intelligent auto setting.

I tried holding the camera up to the lens but the photos looked awefull,and some of them simply didn't capture anything.

Do you simply hold it up to the ep?

Scope is a 200p eq5.
