Image Details:

Woke up early this Tuesday to see the constellation Orion. I probably could've just waited until it would be up at a more sleep schedule friendly time, but I was really excited to try to see the famous "Orion Nebula". In the end, my phone's photo ended up showing more detail of the nebula than my small telescope. I couldn't look directly at it from my telescope, and had to use my peripheral vision. Overall it was fun!
To get the photo, I leaned my phone up against a flower pot, and set it to "Night Mode" for 10 seconds. Then I reduced brightness and cropped it.
