Dusted off my amateur very basic telescope I haven't used in years. Considering this pic is taken by pressing my phone to the telescope's eyepiece I like the result.

@thomasfuchs Thanks! Yes, I was curious how can I take pics easier so I don't have to hold my phone or a camera in my shaking hands in front of the eyepiece.

@ygalanter with a T-mount adapter for the interchangable lens camera of your choice you can use e.g. a Nikon, Canon or Sony DSLR or mirrorless on it. (In that case you don't use eyepieces or lenses, the camera basically uses that telescope as a lens).

@ygalanter It can look a bit funny when you do this, but trust me, it works.

@ygalanter If you do want to try, recommend to google what other people with your scope use, but these adapters are cheap, probably $10-$20
