Moonshot

I took this picture using the telescope last night. I have to say, I forgot how addicting stargazing and astronomy is. I've been taking the telescope out 2-3 times a week these days. And though I got the lower end 1300 mm 4" Nexstar SE, I've seen some breathtaking views of the moon, Jupiter and Saturn.
What's most surprising was the above picture was taken with my iPhone- I basically pointed the camera into the eyepiece and snapped a picture.
Am tempted now to delve into astrophotography....
