The moon

I got a telescope for Christmas 2012 which is pretty cool. The telescope has a 102mm objective diameter and a focal length of 1100mm, with a maximum magnification of 400x. Christmas happened to fall on a full moon and clear night so I was able to test it out without having to wait much.

This photo was taken with my phone, just holding the camera lense upto the telescope eye piece. Its rather tricky as the moon moves pretty fast with this much magnification so there is only a couple seconds to snap a picture.
