I do have a digital camera adapter but alas, my S4 Zoom doesn't seem to like it! Keep's shutting the camera down every time I try to use it! I am looking for another adapter but if the skies stay clear tonight I will try again.<br />
I took all these handheld up to a 25 mm eyepiece and my 127 SLT Mak.<br />
The Double Cluster I used ISO 1600, 5 sec exposure and Auto WB.<br />
The Ring Nebula, ISO 3200, 8 sec exposure and Auto WB<br />
The Andromeda Galaxy, ISO 400, 16 sec exposure, 1.6x Zoom and Auto WB<br />
The Dumbell Nebula, ISO 1600, 10 sec exposure and Auto WB<br />
And Lastly, Uranus, ISO 3200, 2 sec exposure and Auto WB.<br />
I know they're not great but considering they're all handheld and with a mobile phone I'm pretty pleased. Now I'm going to try and see if I can get better result's with an adapter :).<br />

The camera has manual control's which allows you to set everything except the EV. The max exposure is 16 sec's. It also has a number of smart setting's for long exposure's, I haven't yet had the chance to try them out.<br />
<br />
Over the last week I've not had much of clear skies but I have managed to grab some Moon shot's, ISS and some constellation's image's. I'm quite impressed with it being it's only a phone! The only draw back I find is when I'm taking image's afocal the zoom doesn't like it, it crashes or refuses to focus, so I can't really get close up image's of the Moon like I can with my S3. Apart from that I'm pretty impressed :)<br />
<br />
Here are some of the image's I've managed to get so far....Enjoy :)<br />

Wanted to get another star trail but alas a lot of cloud rolled in (although it was suppose to be clear all night!). I managed to get a few Constellation image's instead before I had to give in. Took all with my Sony CyberShot, ISO 100, 30 sec exposure's and Infinity focus.<br />
Hopefully I'll get a good Star Trail tonight, clear night so the weather say's.....<br />

Taken last night (23rd July) using my Sony Cybershot DSC V1. 270 x 10 sec exposure's used and then stacked using a program called StarTrails. Tweaked the levels slightly in Gimp, think it gives a better contrast between the star's and the background colour. Also managed to find the frame that I captured the 'Iridium Flare'. I adjusted the levels and contrast in Gimp but nothing else. Hoping to get another chance to get even more frames, around 400, in the next few weeks. If I do I will post the result's.<br />

Used my trusty Skywatcher 130p, 25mm SP eyepiece and a 3 xbarlow for the close up's. ISO 100, auto white balance and adjusted the EV when needed. Run them through Gimp with very little processing, just adjusted the levels slightly to get a bit more detail out.<br />

Didn't have long to grab some of Saturn before it disappeared behind the houses here. Only had an hour, but after arguing with my capture software and spending nearly half an hour trying to remember how to get Saturn on to my screen (perfectly center in my eyepiece but nothing on my screen!!!) then forgetting the settings on the capture software, fighting the wind too, I did manage to get a few half decent avi's. Not brilliant but considering the trouble I had and being 7 years since I last done this I'm happy with the results! Used a 80GTL, 2xBarlow, 1100 and 1030 frames @15fps. Stacked and processed in Registax 6. <div>
<br /><div>
I also took some Saturn images with my Samsung S3 and my new addition to my little family, Nexstar 127slt :). Lovely scope to use, only had a few hours using it last Friday night due to having to get up a silly o clock but managed to see quite a bit even with loads of LP here! Fingers crossed the weather reports are right and get a few hours of clear sky tomorrow night to grab some avi's of Saturn with the 127. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Only managed a few hours outside friday night and some today with the Sun. The constellation shot's are with my Sony dsc v1, 30 sec exposure's ISO 200. The Saturn shot's were taken handheld up to my skywatcher 130p, 25mm ep and 2xbarlow with my Samsung S3 and lastly today's sun pics were taken using my nexstar 80gtl 25mm ep and my Samsung S3. Have managed to get my old laptop up and running along with my old toucam pro, all I need now are some decent clear night's and no early mornings to get back into imaging the Moon and planets avi style! Finger's crossed!!<br />

Did manage to get a gap in the clouds last night and got a few image's. The Plough with a satellite, Cassiopeia and The Plough Startrail. Also I used the 83 15sec exposures that made the startrail into a video using the same program that stacks the images to make a startrail. I think it gives something different, you can see the changes to the night sky, colour, motion of the star's etc. Enjoy :).......As I've just noticed the Video is 28 sec long but for some unknown reason Blogger seems to speed it up! To see the 28 sec version go to my Flickr page via the link on the right hand side.<br />

It has manual control as well as shutter & Aperture priority and can do up to 30 secs exposure's. Here are a few constellation shot's I've done over the last few weeks. I also tried some Startrails which I've put in a separate post below.<br />

Can only do an hour as my battery can't hold out any longer. The 1st few were just short half hour attempts, 10 sec expsoure's each, to the last one where I managed to get an hour's worth of 10 sec expsoure's. I took as many photo's as I could and run them through a free program called Startrails. Very easy to use, just load all your images in and it does the rest for you!! I'll add a link under fav sites for anyone interested. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

( Shock Horror ). Having 2 weeks off work, joys of working within a school ;), I managed to get quite a few images with my phone. Won't post them all, too many! But here are some of the better passes I managed. The bright 'star' that the ISS can be seen passing is Jupiter and in the last shot you can see the ISS passing the Moon with Jupiter behind.<br />
Also a couple of shots of the Moon taken with my phone and scope.<br />

I decided to experiment a little with the Barlow's I have. Heard some say they have attached more than one with an eyepiece, so I gave it a go. I put a 2 and a 3x Barlow together with a 26mm EP and 2 2xBarlow's with a 26mm EP. I got so in to it I missed imaging a very bright ISS pass!!! The very close up view of Clavius & Tycho was the 2 and 3xBarlows.<br />
Also had to give Jupiter a go with the 2 and 3xBarlows, 15 mm EP and an 80A filter. Hard to get the focus right but I'm happy with the result.<br />
The last image was taken just with my Samsung S3 and a 12x zoom lens. Was surprised my phone done so well without my scope! None of these images have had any processing done, just straight off my phone, as is.<br />

Not sure what it is that flies by! At first I thought it may have been something going across my field of view closer to home but the more I've watched it the less sure I am. Would be nice to hear everyone's view on what they think it could have been!<br />

It's not looking too good over the weekend here either :(. Uploaded straight from my phone on which I could make out 2 of Jupiters Moons captured too. Taken with my Samsung Galaxy S3, held to my 15mm EP and 3xBarlow.<br />

I used an app on Android called Camera FV-5 which allows you to do up to 60 sec and it's free. I know there is one for the iphone called shutter cam (I think). ISS evening passes start again 6th April. You can find times and where to look on Heavens Above. There is a link to the site on the right hand side under my fav sites.<br />

It's been a LONG time since I've posted or done any astronomy due to personal and family commitments but now I have the time to re start and get back in to the hobby I love. I'm a bit rusty, haven't touched any editing software etc since my last post on here so back to basics for me! Also I no longer own my beloved Celestron 4SE telescope, I do still have my Skywatcher though and a brilliant Samsung Mobile. I've been experimenting with handheld shots held up to the eyepiece and will be posting my results. Here are some of the photos I've taken in the last few weeks of the Moon and Jupiter, no editing just straight off my phone. (The blue Jupiter is with a 80A filter). Hope you enjoy and even encourage a few of you to grab your phones and give it a go....<br />

Taken on the 11th Feb using my Toucam pro, i changed the fps to 5 instead of 15. Thinking that it would be the other way around i was using an higher frame rate,DUH!!!. 5fps is soooo much better. Adjusted the gain, brightness n exposure to compensate and put gamma at around 50% to bring out the Cassini Division.<br />Just to finish off i grab the chance of grabbing an image of the Moon. Taken on the 13th Feb during daylight so not great but at least i got something. The area is mostly Boussingault craters, taken with a 3x barlow.<br />Equipment used for Saturn : Celestron 4SE @F13, 3x barlow, Toucam pro @5fps, 1100/1500 frames used. Stacked in Registax4 and processed between Registax4 and Gimp2.4.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509831506259270748.post-77397925538942057522008-01-26T15:27:00.000+00:002008-01-26T15:32:43.167+00:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzF3Kwcpi2WNFrfZiC30UsGXRXZ_8sOWhIRn0QZ8iUIASTFJIvCpnG_-jU-TOb2SamLjphoqRLJX1FHAaXC-GICw5qidsahNA_cjeSCpBotCFwaAPGP0C_Mcj2_eBBYopC9SvOgwLALygU/s1600-h/k850i+full+shot+resized.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzF3Kwcpi2WNFrfZiC30UsGXRXZ_8sOWhIRn0QZ8iUIASTFJIvCpnG_-jU-TOb2SamLjphoqRLJX1FHAaXC-GICw5qidsahNA_cjeSCpBotCFwaAPGP0C_Mcj2_eBBYopC9SvOgwLALygU/s320/k850i+full+shot+resized.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159808507595677682" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kmf7MlHHt-GKMLN7Ui5-IyuEnkZlERn4e17nan2ke3zEuO1nx6kLnUBg8yU7WerRU-WbsbLrNHD8aBL8lbiKBnNtpt3kOA4-w1o0-eEielmrf0T8ZGDIkG5eFl8tRyJLfTrplekWFHrR/s1600-h/k850i+resized.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kmf7MlHHt-GKMLN7Ui5-IyuEnkZlERn4e17nan2ke3zEuO1nx6kLnUBg8yU7WerRU-WbsbLrNHD8aBL8lbiKBnNtpt3kOA4-w1o0-eEielmrf0T8ZGDIkG5eFl8tRyJLfTrplekWFHrR/s320/k850i+resized.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159808297142280162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7BNUUqSqfRIxEmCHVr4avcw6XYTtG_E9VKgpRa5DibtlgFJUruLK-ahNRaPgNjekAK0OCil0Uji36hayS6zyymVeAmPg6VPZf_A2vWa8fDh3z6x_zNPjK-XlamQQe5gOizkkeaVLotpf/s1600-h/sony+ericsson+k850i+mosaic.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7BNUUqSqfRIxEmCHVr4avcw6XYTtG_E9VKgpRa5DibtlgFJUruLK-ahNRaPgNjekAK0OCil0Uji36hayS6zyymVeAmPg6VPZf_A2vWa8fDh3z6x_zNPjK-XlamQQe5gOizkkeaVLotpf/s320/sony+ericsson+k850i+mosaic.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159808142523457490" border="0" /></a><br />2 clear nights in a row!!!!! That very rare ,lol. Managed to get some more avi's of Saturn but after an hour the clouds started to roll in so i turned my attention to the Moon. Grabbed hubby's K850i and spent another hour trying it out on different settings. With mobile phone cameras you do have to spend time just mucking around with the settings to see what works best with that particular model, can take a while but the reward is soooo good :-)).<br />The mosaic was 4 images stitched together, a 26mm ep and set on ISO200. Can't tell you the zoom ratio as the phone doesn't tell me. Not great, had problems with the last image at the bottom, just wouldn't match in contrast n brightness no matter what i tried, but i'm very happy with it being it's a mobile phone mosaic!!!.<br />The full shot was again 26mm ep and the 3rd was using a 2x barlow. All were run through Gimp2.4 to adjust the contrast and brightnes.sUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509831506259270748.post-7664880561143193102008-01-25T15:56:00.000+00:002008-01-25T16:09:06.064+00:00First Saturn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVuiKZ0SYlvBLFjYPBEUjD_FYvFF8NNU-cQs9Yh2PaZ8g-_65zdoMT0GvmaABUh5CQaNkMn9QpTc3c0mXDVii_hSd5XegsHOdqSlDT5mHfNFp5LWpdDTfZy-zXdpQgPOHsgjYwtbyF4MV9/s1600-h/saturn+150%25.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVuiKZ0SYlvBLFjYPBEUjD_FYvFF8NNU-cQs9Yh2PaZ8g-_65zdoMT0GvmaABUh5CQaNkMn9QpTc3c0mXDVii_hSd5XegsHOdqSlDT5mHfNFp5LWpdDTfZy-zXdpQgPOHsgjYwtbyF4MV9/s320/saturn+150%25.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159446879939288962" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVQ8gSH_xQ4BHoVVt9Y5r__hzksst8wSu4YgcWyHkrB02yXcpG39d4rDhb2qmE36OqbwWzENXkGcv9UExZfpmSAsQZEhinGj4qGwKx_FQlSoiRc88DpyDXWaz29ol4w3xXnIjZ9h8xIZX9/s1600-h/1st+Saturn+100%25.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVQ8gSH_xQ4BHoVVt9Y5r__hzksst8wSu4YgcWyHkrB02yXcpG39d4rDhb2qmE36OqbwWzENXkGcv9UExZfpmSAsQZEhinGj4qGwKx_FQlSoiRc88DpyDXWaz29ol4w3xXnIjZ9h8xIZX9/s320/1st+Saturn+100%25.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159446776860073842" border="0" /></a><br />Got one of them rare things last night......A clear sky!!!!! After getting loads of avi's of the moon(trying for a full mosaic) i turned my attention to Saturn. Sitting quite close to the Moon and just about high enough for me to view over the trees. Don't think i quite got the focus right but didn't have alot of time to fiddle to much. Grabbed a few avi's at different focus and fiddled about with the exposure settings. Only stacked n processed 2 very quickly, got over 60 avi's in total inc the Moon, gives me something to do while it's cloudy,LOL.<br />Equipment used: Celestron 4 SE @F13, 2x barlow, Toucam pro. 1050 frames stacked and then processed in Gimp2.4. 1st image is 150%, 2nd is 100%.<br />I changed the fps from 15 to 20 when i started with the Moon and i think it gives a better avi, less noise. Will find out when i get around to stacking n processing them and then comparing to other images.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509831506259270748.post-1900109958198281752008-01-19T15:07:00.000+00:002008-01-19T15:17:52.061+00:00Pekaboo Plato n Copernicus<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4qWbafK9293MYEfL_D50GczchYiThNb2XqwU4lJvWh6hkgKcEbVIYi0FQ22zPVxWc-x25V_eEKgb4EOybWyC3YjXMIlQBsMXGz1Ad_LG59fKHvbP6rFVRnDeSekAx_xP2VHMU7KoQcLGm/s1600-h/ccd15+greyscale.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4qWbafK9293MYEfL_D50GczchYiThNb2XqwU4lJvWh6hkgKcEbVIYi0FQ22zPVxWc-x25V_eEKgb4EOybWyC3YjXMIlQBsMXGz1Ad_LG59fKHvbP6rFVRnDeSekAx_xP2VHMU7KoQcLGm/s320/ccd15+greyscale.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157207121579659746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg01e_oKGQphh11a16kyzd7_Pvx2DQSLc1o3U05bDiHqbPlDRlcwzNSdAHz1jY9PZ9oyijPFVuMDQ4gT1OhejFhC4sMABRqRR1LK-hnZOjGCqw5w7ZkhOlxXCVE_ZGoqm0BWRnrWsL9U2J3/s1600-h/plato+n+friends.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg01e_oKGQphh11a16kyzd7_Pvx2DQSLc1o3U05bDiHqbPlDRlcwzNSdAHz1jY9PZ9oyijPFVuMDQ4gT1OhejFhC4sMABRqRR1LK-hnZOjGCqw5w7ZkhOlxXCVE_ZGoqm0BWRnrWsL9U2J3/s320/plato+n+friends.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157206773687308754" border="0" /></a><br />Really started to get hooked on this mosaic Lark and decided to get the Plato region. 3 Images stitched together using my Celestron, Toucam pro, around 500 frames each stacked n processed in Registax4 then twicked in Gimp. Once stacked and processed i used a free program called i-merge to stitch them together.<br />Copernicus crater was taken with the same scope and webcam , just used a 2xbarlow to get in closer.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509831506259270748.post-27489494979415270882008-01-15T12:22:00.001+00:002008-01-15T16:48:41.467+00:00Terminator Mosaic<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidBDCfXp_FjKt20CZhb05kfAc3kzKFf3cZDTBK6o-aHWejQLkBVtvdjMV68TE9w1jTfdioLzK7P-wr_46PscXivQtBhLLGWlAzXMxcWGBXuvOvjLIwQXPkB8mrUoofo_1fCYocLXozgoQT/s1600-h/mosaic+14th+Jan08+resized+larger.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidBDCfXp_FjKt20CZhb05kfAc3kzKFf3cZDTBK6o-aHWejQLkBVtvdjMV68TE9w1jTfdioLzK7P-wr_46PscXivQtBhLLGWlAzXMxcWGBXuvOvjLIwQXPkB8mrUoofo_1fCYocLXozgoQT/s320/mosaic+14th+Jan08+resized+larger.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155681416052134338" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My 2nd attempt at a Mosaic. Only had 30 mins of clear skies and the wind was starting to pick up but still managed to get a handful of decent avi's. Used my Celestron which was set up in 2 mins(love this scope!)and my Toucam pro. All frames between 500-600 frames, stacked in Registax4 and processed in Gimp2.2.<br />I'm pleased with the result considering it's only my 2nd go.<br />Here's a link to the full size version, click on the image....<a href="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u304/karah75/fullversion.jpg">http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u304/karah75/fullversion.jpg</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509831506259270748.post-49042901369481837652008-01-12T11:25:00.000+00:002008-01-12T11:32:23.821+00:00Mars 7th Jan<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOttmtIhmyo6p1XxrUReEKhNbxN5-INDc0eXgmlaL0siAZ26TQuWp7J-2L4gBjzuzFo110ahXOAK-wtxjpDcg_vvm1VXzUwzfE_1NXTSBVQWbJmTMFP_RMg7-TYUx1Xbvcj8c4PU8dhKMj/s1600-h/Mars7thjan+DT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOttmtIhmyo6p1XxrUReEKhNbxN5-INDc0eXgmlaL0siAZ26TQuWp7J-2L4gBjzuzFo110ahXOAK-wtxjpDcg_vvm1VXzUwzfE_1NXTSBVQWbJmTMFP_RMg7-TYUx1Xbvcj8c4PU8dhKMj/s320/Mars7thjan+DT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154551465991131554" border="0" /></a><br />As you know i have been having problems with my laptop. It's got to be sent off once again, keeps crashing, freezing amongst other things. Around 50 avi's were taken between 5th and 9th Jan via laptop, stacked and processed as well. Looked fine, nice and bright. Backed everything up to load onto desktop only to find that all avi's and images are BLACK!!!!!! Something is wrong with the graphics(going insane with all this!). Managed to save one avi taken on the 7th in gale force winds(well, very windy). USed my Celestron @F13, 2xbarlow and my Toucam pro. 350 out of 1000 frames used. Lost most due to the wind.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
