On Monday night, I captured my first-ever photo of Neptune using my iPhone and 8″ telescope. This is a single, unedited 6 second exposure using the NightCap Pro app for iPhone. It may not look like much, but Neptune was 4.5 BILLION kilometres away when I took this!
Now, the only planet I haven’t photographed is Uranus, so I’ll need to get on that and complete a full solar system collage in 2017.

very cool…
Inspiring! Any truly amazing for how far it is away.
Hello, just curious as to what eyepieces you were using at the time of the photo and whether the telescope that you are using has tracking capabilities, thanks!
This was with an extra-wide 9mm eyepiece and my Celestron NexStar 8SE is motorized and tracks with the sky, yes! Thanks!
