Planetary filter advice


TheShape

Recommended Posts

Hi, was out this morning (5am-ish). Got some great visual observations of Jupiter (could see lines of colour in the 'atmosphere')  and 4 moons. But when I tried to take a photo (using my smartphone and adapter) Jupiter was just a bright white blur. Can anyone recommend a set of planetary filters (1.25") to see if they help. I don't want to break the bank as I'm still only trying out this astronomy malarkey. 

I've seen a set of 4 (on Amazon) for about 20quid. Worth a punt or a waste of cash?

It's over exposed.

look for an app that allows you to control the exposure on your phone. I think there are free apps out there but you may need to experiment a bit to find the best shutter speed.  Don't spend any money yet.
