God job on a cell phone. 15" Newt, I bet you could see a lot details with that.

Nice Bob!
I expect cell phone cameras to surpass the heavy hardware of DSLR's one day.
I've even gone so far as to having a clamp on, camera mount to put my cell phone to an eyepiece. A bit crude, but effective.
(Probably couldn't use it on a visitors telescope though.)

Not bad at all! One of my best moon pictures was taken exactly the same way, other than having the phone mounted solidly to the eyepiece with an adapter from Orion. Keep it up!
