The moon came up on saturday night to spoil my fun, so I had a mess about with my 12" and my smartphone

That is a very good image for an afocal smartphone shot Austin, I presume it was hand held?

Thanks guys, i just had my 2" s.w 32mm ed eyepiece in and put the phone up to it and tried to keep a steady hand! I set the ISO to 100 on the phone.

That is a very nice photo! Tried using GIMP2 to get more detail out of it?
