Nice group, I have literally just dipped into AP, bought a d5600 and rokinon 135 f2 on the way. Until now I have taken 17 gagillion failed pics with my phone. Looking forward to getting some experience and hopefully half decent images as soon as mother nature cooperates. For now, heres a fuzzball I took last year with my samsung s8 strapped to my xt10 dob.
