[weso]

hi all, i thought i'd share my first ever pic on my first ever night!

taken with my iphone pointed through the ep ! i know its probably not very interesting but im quite proud of it!

looking into hooking up my sony alpha 350 now.

oh yer its jupiter and moons (as if u all didnt already know that)

[Clayton]

Not too bad. Focus looks ok and 4 moons visible.

[MikeD]

Nice catch, the first of many I hope.

Well done - has the bug bitten?

[Demonperformer]

Lots of people start this way, and it is a nice pic.

Soon it will be webcams, DSLRs, CCDs, guidescopes .... Welcome to the DARK side ...

[harry]

Good start. You have caught the bug now.

Very nice capture, looks exactly like the pic I took last night with my phone. Just wait until the Moon re-appears and you will get some great shots with your phone.

You are now an official astro-photographer

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Amazing you can capture the moons like that! Nice result.

[starman345]

Nice shot, thanks for posting it.

[daveb]

good pic, dont stop there!

[njs]

Well done, looks a lot like my first ever pic. It's addictive mind, you'll want more, more, MORE!

nice! i have a sony 350 too i really need to get my hands on a telescope lol

keep up the good work

[Donny]

Nice one, i have a similar one

Last night before i went to bed i looked out my window and spotted Jupiter so i thought I'd whip my DSLR Camera out + 55-250mm lens, and take a photo, with no telescope! Shows you can take photos of planets and their moons with just a camera.

Hey, I didn't realize I could do that with my dslr, I have a 70-300 telephoto, I'm going to try that on my tripod tonight....or when the sky clears:rolleyes:

[jimmym123]

I'll be joining you with my 300m telephoto too that's if this rain eventually stops!

[bus_ter]

I got this image using a 70-300mm zoom lens with a 1.4x TC

The blue and green marks are lens flare and the other two moons are hidden by Jupiter at the time of capture.

Nice pic. You`re off too a flying start.

[RayGil]

Well done, it's always nice to capture some results, I like the Iphone for EP Photography, and have some images on my blog page, Hardest part is getting focus, and right exposure, I use Camera + App for EP photography, allow you to adjust exposure if the image is to bright.

Good Luck, and hope to view more from you in the future.

thats exactly how i started,with an iphone up to the eyepiece,now 6 months and about 2 grand later, im not getting much better pics!!! lol

[RayGil]

I built a little IPhone adapter to get better shots, made up of an old camera adapter and Iphone holder, works well

[Quatermass]

Its really exciting just using a mobile phone to take a few quick snap of what in your eye piece. Last night I took these shots of the moon with just my mobile phone camera put up against the lens so you dont need massive amounts of expensive gear to take some great shots I love the moon more and more these days.

[oldfruit]

Those are really good pics from just putting a phone up to the eyepiece.

[Robroy]

Thats so cool, I think I'll have a look at the sky with my zoom camera tonight and see what I can see.

[SeedyF]

Once you realise you can get one you just want more. Soon the only indication you still live there is the regular knock of the postie with another gadget to feed your habit

[RayGil]

This was my first IPhone pic of the Straight Wall
