Moon Photo Log Skip to date (good session): 07-17-2026 | 07-19-2026 | 07-21-2026 | 07-23-2026 | 07-28-2026 | 08-22-2026 | 08-23-2026 | 08-27-2026 Date: July 17th, 2026 Equ: iPhone Note: Moon with Venus on the right. Date: July 17th, 2026 Equ: Telescope with iPhone - Lens: H20mm/.965" - Fl: 700mm - D: 76mm - f/#: f/9.2 - Mag: 35x Magnification Note: Blurry with too slow of a shutter speed. Alignment issues. Date:July 19th, 2026 Equ: Telescope with iPhone - Lens: K20mm/1.25" - Fl: 700mm - D: 76mm - f/#: f/9.2 - Mag: 35x Magnification Note: Found out this telescope can take 1.25" lenses, so I upgraded. Larger lens helped with alignment issues. Blurry with too slow of a shutter speed. Date: July 19th, 2026 Equ: Telescope #1 with iPhone - Lens: K10mm/1.25" - Fl: 700mm - D: 76mm - f/#: f/9.2 - Mag: 70x Magnification Note: Blurry with too slow of a shutter speed. Smaller lens came with me having alignment issues. Date: July 21st, 2026 Equ: Telesope #1 with iPhone - Lens: K20mm/1.25” with a 3x Barlow - Fl: 700mm - D: 76mm - f/#: f/9.2 - Mag: 105x Magnification Note: Wide angle lens (20mm/1.25") with a 3x barlow gave me the best results. I believe the Barlow cut down the light enough with my exposure turned all the way down and set to night mode did the trick. Note: last photo of this was an alignment issue, but saved because of detail. Date: July 23, 2026 Equ: Telescope #1 with iPhone - Lens: K10mm/1.25” with a 3x Barlow - Fl: 700mm - D: 76mm - f/#: f/9.2 - Mag: 210x Magnification Note: alignment and exposure issues.

Just one of many taken of the Lunar eclipse. Should have used smaller telescope or a filter.
