Dart Frog's Astrophotography

The weather from the morning stayed the same! :D After the Sun went under the horizon, I put my telescope out once again, Venus and Mercury were on the western sky! It turned out, I had to carry my telescope almost 200 meters! Otherwise, the buildings were hiding the planets :/ also, my dslr had to small zoom in the telescope, so I had to use this old, bad method... holding phone in front of eyepiece :p It turned out pretty well! (at least for Venus) I've been waiting to see Venus again for like a year... I'll probably mod a small webcam soon so I can catch better, more stable pics ;) more planets are coming to the night sky soon! Eyepiece: skywatcher 6 mm Phone (camera): Samsung Galaxy S7 (I don't have anything to mount it in front of eyepiece so I just held it in my hands) Mercury (a bit out of focus): Venus: Venus going down just a bit above the horizon:

Today, I woke up and I've seen bright light behind the window... It was white building in front of my home illuminated by the Sun shining in the cloudless sky! I got up and took my telescope out for a moment. It was snowing yesterday so there was snow everywhere adn it was very cold... I managed to catch small sunspot on the Sun :) note: these pictures aren't oriented to have north of the Sun at the top! ISO: 100 Location: Warsaw
