Re: "Moon through a telescope"
Reportedly high-end Samsung phones a couple of years ago would recognize the moon and superimpose a perfect moon image into the picture, rotated and cropped to match the original!

@stack Makes one question why take photographs in the first place. Take a selfie and get a better looking person superimposed over your face. Take a landscape shot and get a better landscape during the Golden hour. Take a wildlife shot and get a National Geographic replacement. It's like the cars that play vrooming noises over the speakers to make up for their quiet engines.
@lufte @hansbrix It was made easier by the fact that it was the brightest thing in the sky that night. I also used manual controls so I could get the exposure and iso just right. I have plenty of rejects that aren't worth posting!

Idiocracy!
You can buy a small "smart telescope", point it at roughly at Andromeda, an get images on your phone. What's the point of the "smart telescope"? Just google it if you want a pic on your phone.
Thanks for your share! Please try to make Jupiter photo as currently visible well on the N sky

@ps My previous attempt at Jupiter was a streak. My hands aren't THAT steady!

Try to lean against something and breathe out. Sharpshooters even try to account for their heartbeat, which is visible as lens movement at high magnification

I used to be able to see the moons, or at least their inclination with a naked eye. Now I have astigmatism and everything looks like it has moons.

Cool!
Original Post
Moon through a telescope — It's pretty hard to shoot through the eyepiece without a mount, but I did my best.
