Stargazing (Jupiter, Luna, and Venus)

This morning I went out with the telescope and took these pictures with my cell phone.

From left to right, you can see Callisto, Io, Europa, and Ganymede (largest moon in the solar system).

thank you for posting these beautiful shots.

Whow those pictures are awesome! What cell phone did you use?

Thats really cool Andy! Astronomy is next on my list. I went to the Griffith Observatory for the first time last weekend, it was awesome! Great images!

I envy you, I've always wanted a telescope but never had the chance to get one. Astronomy is one of my great loves.

Wow, you have a really nice scope! I have a little one I got from my Grandpapa. :D Scopes are great fun for us star-lovers! Beautiful pictures!

Eh, just some Pantech, I'm not to up to date on Phones. It's a 1.3 megapixel.

Very cool pictures... :D

wow way too cool

Wow speechless

Forget the cellphone. What kind of telescope are you using? I want to build a reflector tele with my daughter when she gets a bit older. I should actually be slowly gathering up the mirror and stuff now, so as to spread the cost out over some time.

How'd you take pics with your cellphone through a telescope?

What ever the University has :) I really don't remember, but I donated it to the school recently because I just haven't been using it at all.
