My first nebula

[lionclaw]

Just bought a 10 inch dobsonian telescope, It came with a 25mm eyepiece. After viewing the moon i decided to search for some deep sky objects as there were no planets visible. After a bit of searching I found the Orion nebula. At first it looked like a faint smudge but after my eye adjusted I could see it in more detail. I even managed to get a photo down the eyepiece with my iphone. I don't think it turned out that bad considering I had to hold it steady.

Hey, capturing the Orion nebula on an iPhone is pretty impressive! Well done.
