A few of my favorites so far, i'm gonna update this regularly adding more pictures. Jupiter is up next on the 17th!
All are taken on my Galaxy S5 through an Orion Skyquest XT6 telescope





This star is called Procyon, it's the 8th brightest star in the sky, though a picture doesn't do much justice :P

I'm sure you can! I'll definitely look for it, that's the brightest star is it not? I'll try to find it one of these nights and snap a pic!

I've been trying to find Neptune and Uranus, they are kind of hard to find, I'm still a rookie haha. But I'll keep trying for sure.

Lol I get the joke about Uranus. It's actually hard to find due to it's distance in the sky.
