This was produced using a DIY refractor from a salvaged 50 mm binocular objective lens, PVC plumbing parts and a 12.5 mm eyepiece. The prisms were removed for clarity. I used my old iPhone 6 to capture the image employing the app Nightcap Camera. The wind was howling and a near full moon hindered things. This is the best shot of hundreds at 5 seconds each, and there is still wind wobble in this frame. Tracked. ISO 200. Exposure f2.2 (1/2). White Balance 3,000.

Fantastic all things considered! What did you use for tracking?
