Jupiter through Sophia’s Celestrong FirstScope telescope taken with my iPhone through thin clouds and central Phoenix’s terrible light pollution. Moons were barely visible through the eyepiece but my iPhone didn’t pick them up. I assume Steve Jobs is working on this.

I fully expect to see this featured on the Bad Astronomy blog soon.

A large black field of night sky with a tiny indecipherable off-center white smudge.
