I wish I had a better camera or a telescope for better pictures, don't be shy share yours - especially if they are better than mine!

I've been enjoying looking at Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in my 8" dob lately.

Here's a really bad cell phone pic of Saturn 😁.

I tried getting a shot of Mars last night, but my hazy skies, manual dob, and cell phone combo wasn't really up to the task.

I could barely see more with my eyes. Just a bright pink disk with a very faint darker band around the equator.

I wish I had a neighbor with a good telescope, maybe next time I will be better prepared (in 15 years).

And make sure you buy a house in a dark skies area. Even a great telescope looks very underwhelming in bad skies.
