playing with my iphone

A few shots through my iphone camera and 17mm ethos tonight.

Barry the moon looks great through your eye piece and iphone, love all that detail, very crisp and sharp :thumbsup:

[sn1987a]

yeah I was kinda surprised myself and that was with the wind buffeting the scope. Orion there was with nightcap app, 1 sec exp, moon not far away. will try saturn later.

[ourkind]

do you have a special mount for the phone or just hand held, I've tried it before and its tricky finding that sweet spot. Definately an effective way to capture what you see and wow your mates!

[sn1987a]

Crude but effective.

[multiweb]

Clever. Nice pics. :thumbsup:

[04Stefan07]

Very clear pics, well done!!

[sn1987a]

Ta, thank you.

Saturn is proving to be a little more difficult, always overexposed, will try some filters tonight.

[ourkind]

Cool Clear Skys :thumbsup:

[sn1987a]

and a few more...

[ourkind]

The moon shots are excellent, what's the other one?

[sn1987a]

homunculus nebula in eta carinae, just seeing what the iphone can do.:)
Saturn needs work.

[ourkind]

That's not bad.

Omega Centauri would be interesting?

[sn1987a]

My grossly light polluted sky and I accept your challenge!:D

[sn1987a]

Ta-Da!

[ourkind]

Hahaha cooool well done, next thing you know you'll be stacking them!!! This is just like a cyberspace star party!! Nice one thanks for this mornings show!! Hmm Jewel box?

[ourkind]

I just copied that image into my iPhone and hit edit magic wand and it really brings out the core, have you tried it? Give it a go :)

[ourkind]

Using snappseed app free.

[sn1987a]

Wow you just opened up a whole new universe, that's really good!. I was about to try the jewell box but trees are in the way now and the suns coming up, have another go tonight.

I reckon the Iphone 8 will probably be able to drive the scope out to a dark site by itself, set it up and send back perfectly processed images down to mag 30.

[Matt Wastell]

Lots of fun there!

[sn1987a]

Some early ones from tonight.

[sn1987a]

Optics cooling, moon higher.

[sn1987a]

Jewel box by Iphone.

[ourkind]

Wow those moon shots are excellent! A few of them are super super clear! Nice one with the Jewel Box too, you're getting some clear skys over your way.

The sepia toned moon looks awesome!
