First ever moon with iPhone

[jnc71106]

This is my first ever moon photo infect it's my first ever astrophotography pic

Taken with my iPhone held up to the lens on my nagler 12mm t4

I know it's pretty poor compared to all the others on here but frankly I don't care it's my first pic and I'm proud of it

Very good image with a phone well done

Thanks guys. I tried using my EOS 400D but I couldn't get it to focus not enough inward travel I think is there a way to fix that ?

well dang, I think I may have a try with my iphone up to my 15x70 bino's!

pretty cool!

Great first image!

Not an easy task with a phone either I bet.

I would recomend it minor tweak in a photo manipulation programe though...just try dialing back the brightness and maybe increase the contrast just slightly and you should be able to bring out a bit more deatail yet.

If you don't have one try this free one GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

Also in regards to your focus problem...it all depends on the scope you have? With Newts I believe you can move the secondry mirror. Thats all I know about that I am afraid.

HTH

Keep up the good work!

That is very impressive, and an ingenious method of photography... What iPhone do you have?

[jnc71106]

I think a lot of it is down to the eyepiece I used

The nagler is one sweet bit of kit

It's just my old 3GS mate it's took a little while to get the position right and I tried it with Saturn but couldn't get it to work

i tried the same last night came out alright too, god its hard work though have to say they make great wall paper/back ground for your I phone

Ah, I have a '4, so hopefully the results should be even crisper with the extra MP'age... Once this cloud clears, obviously!
