there mighty impressive pics to say there off a mobile matey... i missed it :Cry:
 
in case your wondering, used a 25mm eypiece on the scope, and a steady hand with my w810i on its highest quality setting to get the pics. difficult but worthwhile lol. must buy a proper camera lol!

Oh and by the way - because the scope used is a reflecting telesecope, in these pics the moon is upside down and back to front - that's why the eclipse seems to run the wrong way...
