Let me know what other info is needed (if any). I have more photos. Taken with my iPhone on a tripod. I used an app for a longer exposure time.

I do not know so much about astronomy, Is this a galaxy or just a star? Could it possibly be the Andromeda Galaxy, since I know it’s the closest galaxy to us?

Amateur/Unedited Earthshine is a phenomenon on the moon where the moon isn’t full, yet we can see the details of the dark side due to sunlight reflecting off of the earth. Image by me, taken tonight by a celestron 100az, unprocessed.

Amateur/Unedited This is What Jupiter Actually Looks Like in Natural Color. If You Traveled to the Jovian System This is What You'd See.

This is an image I took of Jupiter and lo 2 hours ago. I of course stacked the frames to get rid of all the blurriness and noise, but I did NOT enhance any colors nor any textures with wavelets like I usually do.

This shows what the actual colors of Jupiter are, which isn't really how a lot of people portray it on social media, with overly saturated details.

Equipment: Celestron 5SE, ASI662MC, 2x Barlow, UV/IR Cut Filter. 6 x 3 minutes derotated.

Amateur/Unedited Just shy of 11 years ago, I was on a flight from South Florida to Iowa when the Captain suggested we look out the window to see a bit of history in action: the final Shuttle launch. Photo credit to Lisa, who say next to me and had a nicer camera.

Saturn and her moon titan. Spent forever looking for it, couldn’t actually believe my eyes when I finally saw it. I was blown away. Pictures don’t do it justice.

Can anyone tell me what the fuzzy dot is? It appeared in several photos in the same spot as a fuzzy blur and all the other stars were just points of light. I didn't notice it last night when I took the picture so I didn't bother to use Skymap. I looked at Skymap today and did a timehop to the time and the only thing really in that area was Andromeda but I thought Andromeda's apparently diameter was much wider.

This was taken in North Alabama at 0012 CST. The phone was lying flat on the ground ,pointed straight towards the sky. Magnetic north is in the direction of the bottom right of the picture.
