Ooh - my favourite stronomical object =)
Did you film that with your cell? Just curious because the circular lighted area which looks as if you had used a spotlight is a phenomenon you frequently encounter when using a cell or a camera through the ocular of a microscope instead of mounting it on an adaptor.
Can you give an approximate scale for the pics?
No, all of the images that are taken are through my smartphone attached to the telescope eyepiece. I have an adapter for it that is very difficult to get aligned to the peep hole correctly every time. The adapter doesn't secure fasten to the eye relief recess in the eyepiece like it should. As a result the weight of the phone causes the adapter to gradually slip off of the eyepiece.
I have gotten better at canceling out the star trails and have been going after deep space stars.
I couldn't find much to look at until I pointed my scope in the direction of the Vela Constellation.
The first one is the very first F Main Sequence star that I have shot with my scope. If you look near the lower left of the star you can see what looks like two Moons plus the symbol of the Jediism faith a little bit further to the left. At first I thought it was just weird fractals that my Smartphone created. Then I started looking through Star Wars religions and came across the Jedi symbol.
I will provide the original image without any annotations if anyone wants to try and call it a fake or Photoshoped image.
Original image taken with Smartphone through my telescope. I'm not certain what the star formation is. So if anyone knows please help me figure out what this star is.
If you look to the right of the cross on the Jedi symbol you can see a small blacked out area that could be a moon. If you look 80 degrees from the first moon you can see what appears to be another moon. Actually it appears to be two moons close to each other but the more rounded one is the one to focus on. Why do I say two moons?

In this image of the same star formation, the two stars with arrows pointing at them appear to have moons or objects orbiting them them are reflecting the stars light as well as forming a nearly perfect elliptical around around the star.
Original star formation with the amount of light adjusted to show the very faint stars.
I blew the main sequence star in the middle up 5000 times in Paint Shop. Here is the image. Notice the two round objects on the right side of the star that are nearly equal distance from each other, just like the two moons in the Jedi symbol image. The two objects in the first image I took have to be moons as they are present in another image of the same star, just in a different location.
A negative image of the image above. The negative image basically replaces objects creating light or reflecting with a negative color. In this case the negative of white is black.
Notice how the two moons, rather three from the first image stand out and are in the exact same relationship to each others orbit, like in the first image, but in a different location.

Closer shot of the above image. You can see the round shape of the object very faintly.
But as with the first image this image does match the three objects that were pointed out as looking like moons.
Now if these objects were just space dust or fractal anomalies as a result of the camera, they wouldn't be orbiting the star and each other at the same distance in both shots.
