Moon Photography

[hotweb]

I recently was given a National Geographic 76/700/EQ telescope.     Everything seems set up OK and can see  a lovely clear bright crisp moon.    However, when I connect a mobile phone as suggested all I get is a round bright blob which has no definition.  I have also tried a 16 mp camera instead of the mobile phone and still not a good picture.    Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Probably over exposure.  Is there a way to control the exposure setting on your phone?  If so then set it as short as you can to start with.  The other thing may be (or as well as!) not being in focus.  You may need to move the phone/eyepiece in or out to find the focus position.

Use manual mode and increase the shutter speed. Possibly a focus issue too.
