As you might have noticed after reading a few of my posts, I am a complete astronomy freak! I also have an awesome Astronomers Without Borders Onesky Reflector Telescope (U.S. Shipping only) that I'm really proud of.

I have taken quite a few images of different celestial objects using my telescope. Here are a few-

1. The Moon

I have quite a few good images of the Moon, so I'm going to put 3 here.

The Waxing Gibbous Moon, taken before sunset, hence the blue background.

A closeup of the Moon, showing one of its mountain ranges, called Montes Apenninus.

A bunch of craters near the North Pole of the Moon, during the waxing cresent phase.

2. The Pleiades

The Pleiades is an open cluster located in Taurus. It is also known as the Seven Sisters due to its seven brightest stars. They are one of the most popular deep space targets due to their brightness and the number of stars. Here are my images of the Pleiades-

3. Saturn

With its brilliant rings, Saturn is a very popular astrophotography target. Here's my best image till date-

You can clearly see the Rings of Saturn here. They appear to be viewed almost side-on due to the close alignment of Saturn and Earth's orbital planes.

4. Orion Nebula

The brightest nebula in the night sky, the Orion Nebula is fairly easy to capture.

While this image is not very clear (I took it during a full moon night), you can clearly see the clouds of the nebula.

5. Night Sky

While this may not be a proper "astrophoto", I just want you to admire the number of stars the camera of a Google Pixel 7a captured in a light polluted city (Bengaluru).

No words 😶.(The haze towards the bottom of the image is something known as lens flare, but it adds to the beauty of the image)

6. Jupiter: The King of All Planets

Jupiter is a very bright planet and hence, very hard to photograph with a simple phone in such a way that a few features are visible. Here is a pic I managed to take after months of trying-
