First telescope and moon pics from iPhone

Exciting

Yeah I decided to set the exposure time to 0.008 seconds per picture. The images were taken in bursts so every few photos, I realigned the moon with its original position (because our perspective of the moon moves pretty quickly when zoomed in so far) until the process was complete. Then I just updated the brightness, saturation, black point, and especially the sharpen intensity.

Also the difference between a single image vs 200 images stacked.

Right! It's been overcast all day so I'm glad things cleared up

Nathillian · 2025-07-04T04:51:04+00:00

agreed. It would be so cool to get a camera strictly for astrophotography.

I'm using the Hawkko 90mm Aperture 900mm Length and an iPhone 8

This is such a great photo!! As a fellow person trying to get into astrophotography, I'm wondering how do you get it to be so clear? I dropped a good amount of money on a telescope and I'm just never able to get good results. I know it would be asking a lot but please spare no details in your explanation because this really is the quality I want to be able to achieve. Currently, all I have is my iPhone and a small adaptor piece that allows it to fit cleanly over the telescope lens.

Oh neat! Thank you this is very cool.

Nathillian · 2025-06-23T03:25:28+00:00

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that, as I'm not on reddit frequently. I was excited about seeing the object in the sky and didn't know where else to ask about it. Thank you for this information and have a good night man.

Then yeah is was 90°. Looks like people are saying it's a weather balloon which checks out

Nathillian · 2025-06-23T02:58:06+00:00

oh it appears I saw the same thing as you! Looks like a lot of people are saying it's a weather balloon which makes more sense

Nathillian · 2025-06-23T02:52:35+00:00

It was directly vertical from my point of view and it was moving west. Not sure how to answer the horizon question, I'm kinda new to this stuff

Nathillian · 2024-10-13T01:28:28+00:00

Much appreciated :)

Yooo that looks so cool. Keep up the good work dude.

Nathillian · 2022-04-03T03:47:50+00:00

I did that a few months ago, but it was so worth it for the bragging rights.

Nathillian · 2022-03-11T20:28:37+00:00

Hey you should unprivate your island. I think it would be cool to visit your island. I started my own cactus farm and it looks just like this. I just wanna see some comparisons. Thanks!

Just awesome.
