As you might well deduce from the title, he doesn't think so, but do you agree with his reasoning?

This month Bart is joined by Allison Sheridan from the NosillaCast podcast for a wide-ranging conversation revolving around photographing recent astronomical events in modern ways. We start with the observation that the cameras in our phones can now see in the dark better than we can, before moving on to a cool new take on the concept of a telescope that takes the technology powering our phone cameras to a whole other level, before finally circling back to some software tips to help figure out where in the night sky to point our phones to capture the things we can't actually see!
