Cell Phone Astrophotography at the BSU Observatory

Currently, all images contained here were taken at the old observatory (which included a 12" Meade LX-200 and two 8" Meade LX-200s). Please return here after the new observatory has been in operation for new images.

Please let us know if you have taken images at the BSU Observatory with your cell phone, and would like them to appear here. You may send an email with such an image to Jamie Kern at jkern@bridgew.edu. Please include your full name, and whether or not you give permission for us to post it on our website. We'd also love it if you could tell us what type of phone you used to take the picture, and when it was taken!
