This is just one image taken via my P20 lite using a phone adapter on my 8" dob. 25mm eyepiece.

I adjusted the contrast and brightness in Photoshop.

Nice, good detail on the terminator. I've never made phones work for me, mind you my adapter is not sophisticated. I have a P20 lite as my personal phone. Must give it a try.
Cheers,

Tony.

I got a no frills Slokey adapter for 20€, does what it's supposed to.

I also got a Canon 600D a week ago but I need to get the T-ring and whatnot but between the scope and the camera I don't think I could convice the Mrs I need to spend yet more money lol

I'll look out for that adapter, thanks, Paul.

My missuses comment ’There’s always something you need...’ it’s nice her to realise that, but I'm probably over-interpreting her words :lol:

Congratulations on the APOD.
Cheers,

Tony.
