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.

The headline seems to imply that he custom built a telescope for his gameboy.

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

I don't know why I was expecting to be amazed by the photo.

Having the colour of your links be very close to the default colour of links you've already clicked is an interesting style choice

This is why the internet was born.

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.

Blogspam article with more ads than content.

Just name the "guy" in the title, how hard is that? I hate this so much. Idea and execution is so rad, just credit him properly, Engadget pls...

Where is the photo?
