Moon with 50 mm refractor

Hi this is my first time viewing and seeing the moon, I recently got a 50mm refractor telescope and have been experimenting, this is the first successful attempt at capturing the moon. Please suggest on how can I improve Took this photo from Samsung A55 keeping it close to the eye piece, I have ordered a phone mount for the telescope as I don't have a dslr.

Also i really tried to use astrophotography software like Pipp and auto stakkert but the processed images are worse. My guess is that the raw images were very un focused and off center so compiling the images didn't do any good. With a camera mount, i hope it will be better...

Equipment: 50 mm refractor telescope Focal length: 360 mm Eye piece: 12.5 mm F ratio: f/7.2 Aperture: 50 mm

Hydrogen Alpha Sun 11/09/24

The sun in Ha today. Taken with a Player One Mars-M, and Lunt LS50THa. Two panel mosaic captured in Sharpcap. Best 10% of 1000 frames stacked in AutoStakkert. Deconvolution in imPPG. Used photomerge in Photoshop to stich the the panels together. Unsharp mask, Smart sharpen, and camera raw filters were used for final sharpening along with various curves and levels adjustments.

Seeing was average. Notable features were the prom that appeared completely disconnected from the surface on the left. The surface has a good amount of smaller sunspot groups, some of them quite complex. There's also a good distribution of large filaments across the surface. I've noticed the higher dynamic range of the IMX290 sensor really helps make these filaments pop compared to my ASI120mm-s.

Eagle Nebula

This is the version of the Pillars of Creation in zoomed out - not sure which pic I like better? The 1:2 zoom where you basically only see the pillars or this one (I think 1:8? Or 1:16?) C14 on modified CGX-L 23 hours narrowband with Ha, O and S filters Pixinsight with BlurX noiseX and curves.

Eagle Nebula - Pillars of Creation

This is still a 1:2 zoom of my picture of the pillars. 23 hours in 3nm narrowband filters by Chroma (Ha, Sii, Oiii) Celestron 14” on modified CGX-L Pixinsight post processing with blurX, noiseX, curves. What you guys think? Better close up or zoomed out?

Saturn

Yesterday I photographed Saturn at around 10:20pm (AEST) with an 8” Dobsonian Telescope & a 6mm and 25mm eyepiece.

I did some pre-processing with Saturn and stacked 660 frames with Autostakkert and sharpened in Registax. Then I did major composites in mobile photoshop & lightroom and done!

Extra info: I didn’t use a sensor, instead I used a regular iPhone
