Can You Hear Me Moon

LPOD-Jul13-11.jpg
image by Con Athanasiou, Melbourne Australia

Con has previously shot the Moon with a Nokia cellphone and here is an update. This photo is the same classic view I had a few nights ago with the little StarBlast telescope mentioned yesterday. I am surprised that this picture is so good for most of my attempts to hold a cellphone to an eyepiece have been failures. If this process works frequently then we can send star party visitors home with a lunar souvenir on their phone. Danny Caes proposed this as a comment to the earlier cellphone LPOD, and it is still a good suggestion.
