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 :)

Another binoculars + phone photo. Zoom on the islands:
And you get this :)
Not that spectacular but still cool :)

A perspective photo that I really like. The moon and the bus. This is straight out of my phone - no telescope or binoculars, and no editing.

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.

A photo I took from a castle on the top of a mountain at night. Some stars and the town I live in :)

Here's Jupiter with 4 Moons through Celestron 130 SLT and Pixel 4a taken 4 hours ago:
And closeup:
And another sample without the moons:

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!

In our town there are ping-pong tables for anyone to use. We play sometimes I kinda like it :D. But yah, so cool they should do more of these in public spaces.

Awesome sunset. I am impressed how the Pixel 4a can capture the real colors. Phone that @Aaron gifted me :D. Even brand new it was 3 times cheaper than most high end phones when it was released.

I took this photo in very low light hand-holding my Pixel 4a. We were lucky to see these goats that late at the castle.

Not enhanced. Straight out of Pixel 4A. And that's how the sky looked like in reality.

I have updated my Photo gallery on my website https://www.tiotrom.com/photos/ if anyone is curious. These are the best photos I have taken so far.
For example this is not a fire, or exaggerated. It is how the clouds looked one day:

Take the telescope phone mount and attach it to the binoculars, and then you can take some cool shots with your phone :). Mind you these are tiny binoculars that we got from someone, not some pro-ones.
Here's a photo that's quite nice on its own:
Now point your binocular setup here:
And you get this:
Cool :)

in reply to Rokosun • •Yah here:
And actually they are not comfortable to look through them since the eyepieces are so tiny...
But that makes them perfect to attack to the phone. As you can see they are quite small. They feel like toy binoculars. My family found them when cleaning a house basically.
