By far not nearly as good as probably all the above pictures, but I think at least a very interesting one.

 

It is of Jupiter through a telescope eyepiece at low magnification, shot with my HTC, which imo is not nearly as great a camera as came with the later Nokias, and doesn't have anywhere near the adjustment range of it either.

 

The four spots of light around the planet are four of its ~60 moons. The moon closest to Jupiter is just about to transit in front of the planet, which made an awesome sight through the telescope as it cast a shadow on it.

Here is another interesting one, also taken through my handheld HTC through the telescope eyepiece, of a region of the moon near the great rayed crater Tycho. The resolution on this photo is probably better than 5km, with 2Km being the limiting resolution of my scope.

 

The tricky thing about these photos is holding the phone by hand, with the camera lens hopefully as parallel as possible to the eyepiece lens, and capturing as much width from the exit pupil as possible without scratching the eyepiece!

Taken with my BlackBerry Curve's crappy camera somewhere between Gariep dam and Philoppolis. (Edited with Shendz BB app)

 

The phone tragically died in a pool accident yesterday.
