Following on from my previous attempt at astrophotography with a mobile phone on the Moon (see: http://www.krioma.net/blog/archives/2005_03_20.php#000585) I decided to go for another object to see what I could get out of it. The method is very simple. Get your mobile phone. Place it at the eye piece of a telescope. Focus. Press button when camera is aligned - this can be a tricky procedure. Due to this the pictures that are obtained aren't the best but I wouldn't expect much from a mobile phone camera anyway. Here is Jupiter and her moons (I haven't identified which on is which yet as I am being lazy - will do this later).
