that is a fantastic shot.
I really need to get a telescope.

Incredible! That is beautiful. And I can't believe you took it on your phone - ok with aid of a telescope - but nevertheless...

@lauriepink Yes this image was taken through a telescope. Telescopes invert the image as it reflects off all the mirrors, so it's upside down compared to what you'd see through your binoculars.

Binoculars? Duh. Telescope. Sorry about that...

Should I praise the iphone or the binoculars? I got the moon, and... a teeny tiny speck near it.Which may have been a star.
Wait a minute... our moon is pointing the other way...

The only things iPhones have that Treos don't, that I like, are a decent twitter client, and a decent camera phone.
