I was wondering what kind of a picture you could get by attaching a camera phone to a telescope, so purchased an adapter and mounted my phone to one of my scopes and tried for the moon. Here is what I got. Feel free to check out the download.

Impressive. Of course more than half of the IQ of those images are due to the telescope optical quality.

Are you serious? These are as good as those made by Regis! Please explain in some detail how you do it.

Thanks for the comments! I'll show a picture of my setup. The scope used for those shots was slightly larger, but the method was the same. Mount the phone, aim the telescope, zoom the phone to get an acceptably sized image, and shoot. Very easy.
