iPhone snap of our closest neighbour

Hi All. 

Was nice to get out tonight. Had a brief view of Venus before it got too low. Then turned my attention to the main event. 

Whilst looking at the Moon I thought I'd try a quick shot with the iPhone. 

Good conditions enabled me to use a 13mm Nagler with an apo 2 x Barlow giving about 276 x magnification. 

It was a bit fiddly aligning everything and holding everything still and it won't replace the DBK set up but with a bit of effort and the right adapter who knows?

Thanks for looking.

Some fine detail especially for a camera phone.

Caputured some decent ones on my iPhone 6+ too. Last year I got one of the Mercury transit too which was pretty good. Well done!
