The Moon and Jupiter tonight:

The image is a composite - I took separate photos for each with the telescope and the phone. The original photo looks something like this through the binoculars:

But you can zoom into the first photo and you can even see Jupiter's moons :)

This photo looks fake, but it is not, and it is taken with a mobile phone. Plus I did no editing:


These are the islands where I live, and the wonderful night sky. You can see the Pleiades in the left top side, and that bright one top center is Jupiter:

4 minutes exposure with Pixel 4A.

Here's a photo I just took with my telescope and my phone:

It is difficult to find the right spot for these kind of photos and tomorrow I'll try to do it better. And I will also record a video (I have one but I will share it when I will do it better) :)

Raw video of the Moon through Celestron SLT 130 and Pixel 4A


This is the raw video we took through my phone. And our genuine reactions. We were mesmerized by how crisp the Moon was. And this was not the best night to see it since it was a lot of humidity in the air. Enjoy!

Ok here's one more with the binoculars :D because I love these. I was standing here taking this photo with my Pixel 4a phone:


Then I added the binoculars to my phone and pointed here:

And I got this:


True, I enhanced the colors, contrast, etc., but with GThumb in less than a minute. Nothing crazy.

Here are more:




Mind you, this is a phone that was around 350$ new in 2020 that was given to me for free. Plus binoculars that we literally found somewhere. :) Nothing pro, yet the photos look super cool.

Here's a photo I just took 2 hours ago of the moon with Pixel 4a and some cheap binoculars:

I love this photo because it also showcases what the stages of the Moon are. Just a part of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun from our perspective, but in fact the entire Moon is visible if you are to look closely.

So amazing!

I will try to take more such photos of the moon in perspective with buildings or other "objects". It looks so cool!
