Within M42 - 110mm Newt & 3mp Phone

[SteelRat]

Had a great night out on friday with my little Tal1SLT(t). Got a pic of the stars inside M42 with my freebee 3mp Samsung camera phone. Was trying out a bracket I'm about half way through building. Kept the phone and 'half'bracket attached to the eyepiece with the 'elastic band method'. Single frame shot on full auto.

(click pic to make a little bigger)

No award winner but shows that the Tal1 is pretty steady on the SLT mount even at quite high mag.

Cheers

Great shot with that gear Matt, you've got 4 stars in the Trap.

Matt, nice one.

Cheers folks.

Maybe next phone I get (FOC - of course ) might pick up some nebulosity?

:D Matt you ought to write a primer on doing this sort of stuff. You're really good at it.
