Looks like Jupiter and possibly Saturn as well.

Great shot.

Looks suspiciously like flare to me too. What was it taken with? If it IS Jupiter and Saturn, the Earth is in bigger trouble than anyone thinks!

Thro' an eyepiece or how? I'd say a) it's too bright anyway and b) you need to figure out where the reflections are coming from - sorry that's stating the obvious! Could be inter-lens, off a flat surface somewhere (such as lens protective slip - not familiar with the phone but some have them and they get mucky), off the iris (if there is one). A few possibilities. Try some sort of hood arrangement. You may just have to accept the setup isn't suitable but it's worth a try.
