Hi,

Just thought id post this up as I was very very! Surprised at what can be achived with a £40 secondhand telescope and then holding my phone up to the eyepiece..... lol I did mess about with the camera settings and I then edited the picture on my phone basically sharpened it a little bit etc jus with an app.....

Addiction indeed I was going to buy some nice expensive kit but just wanted to see if id enjoy it first so bought some real basic stuff and yesterday with my camera phone I managed to get jupiter (fair be it it looks like a white blob) but none the less its a picture of a white blob with four moons in shot lol

Very nicely done mate

And thus begins the slippery slope of Astrophotography lol! 

if you can get shots like that with a £40 scope and a phone imagine what you can do with a £400 scope and a DSLR
