Poor quality. But considering the equipment, not bad.

1. Cool.
Not only are they not bad, they are amazing. Do you have others? Any Moon shots? Nice work.

9. That's it? I get shots like that with my binoculars with the built-in digital camera
Or I did, before I got bored with mere in-system objects...

;)

8. A surprisingly good result
and no doubt better than what Galileo saw. Of course, he didn't have a cell phone. :)

When I was about 7 years old, I saw Saturn with my own eye through a giant telescope and I, like Galileo, was never quite the same.
