Here it is! My first ever picture of Jupiter taken with this method. I’m pretty happy with it, and it only gets better from here. It isn’t the clearest image, but for just a phone video I think it is alright. Good thing is that the next couple of nights here are clear skies so hopefully I’ll be able to try again and maybe even give Saturn a shot!

You can see some of the bands on Jupiter, as well as two moons which I believe to be Ganymede and Europa. View attachment 43613

Awsome here's my photo by holding my phone to a telescope.

Oh wow, tbh I'm jealous of that video lol
Wasn't able to take some great photos of this last solar eclipse.

Cool moon photos!

And to also contribute a bit to this thread, I've also tried to took some of the Moon some days ago actually.
Finished processing them today btw!

How do you get it so detailed? Is it with a telescope?

Thank you!!

Thanks, yeah I use a telescope, and some free softwares (like GIMP, Registax and others to process the images/videos) and a cheap planetary camera (it's like one of the cheapest I could find 2 years ago, but it gets the job done )
It's hard to explain how I make these images look detailed, but what I basically do is record a small video of one area of the Moon, usually of 20 seconds, it doesn't seem a lot but after I process the video with some program (and convert it to a .AVI file) I have between of 600 to 800 frames to work with (which can occupy like, 2 gb each processed .AVI file).
With the processed .AVI file I use some other programs to stack some of the best frames in that same file, and then using those same programs I play around a bit with the functions to try and get most of the detail of my Moon images, without overprocessing the image lol.
Obviously I don't take just one video of one area of the Moon, I take about 15 to 20 videos so that after processing each video, and get an image of each "moon area", I can stitch all of these processed images/videos and get a full photo of the Moon!
After this I spend more time processing the full photo of the Moon in GIMP and get some results similar to what I shared here.

It takes time to learn obviously, but I think that's the fun part of astrophotography .

Btw, I'm trying to reprocess some of the moon images that I used to make the final photo I shared here, but this time with another program that is more specialised I guess (it's called Astrosurface).
This is some of the progress:
