Getting to terms with the goto on my 8" Dob.
Managed to align it tonight (sort of...) and then went to Jupiter.
The image was so clear I thought I'd attach the Samsung S10e and try a couple of manual ISO, focus and shutter speed settings. Results attached.
They are grainy and a little soft focused but you can actually see 3 of the moons (maybe 4, not sure).

I think that is a great job...I can see 3 Moons ( I think I can at least).
I really enjoy your images and what you can produce with your phone.

Good work Martin. I've totally got a soft spot for phone astro. Keep them coming.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice capture. Shows what can be done with modern technology these days.
