Solar System pictures using fine refractors

The following pictures were taken with an iPhone 8, 12, and 14, held up by hand to TeleVue Delos, Nagler, and Plössl eyepieces, as well as a Baader Mark IV zoom eyepiece. These eyepieces were in turn attached to several apochromatic refractors: a TeleVue 85, Takahashi FC-100DC, Takahashi FC-100DZ, APM 140, and TEC 140. All telescopes were held by manual altazimuth mounts with no electronics and no tracking.

Deep space pictures using an EVScope and EVScope 2

The following pictures were taken using a well-collimated Unistellar EVScope and EVScope 2, generally with exposure times of under 10 minutes and minimal cooldown. The pictures were tweaked using simple photo-editing apps (some raw versions are visible in the journal).
