That's very nice for a phone picture Jean-Yves!!!

Did you use a phone holder or did you just hold it up to the EP?

no, I just put my cell on the eyepiece, I think that's why it's a little blurry.

C'est vraiment bien, mon ami, and not blurry at all! Nice sharp crater edges. Very impressive for a single afocal shot, and nice equipment also!

Les bon salutations pour ca, mon chum!

Hi Jean-Yves. This is a great crescent lunar image with your iphone 13 camera held up to the TV 85mm telescope eyepiece. Very good contrast, Mares Crisium and Serenitatis show up well, and nice surface details along the terminator. Thanks for sharing this capture with us on here Jean-Yves and you have shown what can be done with an iphone camera and telescope.
