Yes! You can capture the Moon and even some bright constellations with just a phone or DSLR on a tripod. Many of our tutorials are aimed at beginners without telescopes.
Clear, moonless nights are ideal - especially in autumn and winter when the skies tend to be more transparent. But honestly? Any clear night is a good night to look up.
