Caleb's Adventures in Astrophotography

 

These photos were taken through my Orion SkyQuest XT6 Dobsonian 6 inch telescope.  They were taken using the camera on a Samsung Droid cell phone. [click on each pic to enlarge]
The top and bottom pictures were taken at a 48x magnification.  The middle pic is at 96x magnification.  Amazing, isn't it?  The moon is over 250,000 miles away, I love being able to see such detail.  I tried to take pictures of the moon with a standard camera but it never worked quite right.  The cell phone camera has a smaller aperture and it worked great.  ~Caleb
