My first picture

Hi everyone!

I got a telescope from my parents for christmas and I wanted to share my very first picture from it. It's nothing fancy, I took it with a single frame with my iPhone 6 held over the eyepiece as is, no post processing on the 30th Dec.

What do we think?

Well Chris for a first attempt that is a fine effort indeed, i wish my first image of the Moon was that good when i tried many , many years ago.

Well done, now you will be hooked for life.

It's a good shot. So what is the telescope? I'm guessing a reflector of some type.

The telescope is a Celestron 4se. I don't know much about telescopes (yet) but it does a great job of looking at the moon! I don't know what other things I can expect to see with it. I ordered a zoom eyepiece online.. I hope i'll be able to see a planet!
