      Ah yea, I shouldn&#x27;t have linked to Threads (it was just the first result I found to see the full photo). I replaced the link with a better one.

  Not to diminish his accomplishment, he attached the game boy camera to a 60inch telescope at Mount Wilson. This is a cool project but the quality of the photo is what you’d expect from a gameboy camera.<p>The headline seems to imply that he custom built a telescope for his gameboy.

  Would have been far more interesting to have an iPhone adapter, another very common device but with a worthwhile image sensor better justifying time on a massive telescope.

  Can I see the picture of Jupiter though? Seems like one of the 2 pictures this article would need

    Yeah, surprising all this effort and no clean copy of the picture to be easily found. Pretty easy to get them off the GB camera now days.
