What phone did you use?

[hollow tinsel]

iPhone 7

Processed in Snapseed

[unborn loom]

I hate how iphone denoises SO MUCH

[hollow tinsel]

They brag about attaching more cameras

But they can’t do crap against android phones in astrophotography sometimes

[unborn loom]

S21FE

[hollow tinsel]

Samsung?

[unborn loom]

Yes

[hollow tinsel]

Damn nice

What was the exposure time?

[unborn loom]

20×30

[cunning anvil]

I was so excited to try the new iPhone 14 pro max on astrophotography but was so disappointed. And then I saw what the Google pixel camera can do

[cunning anvil]

What bortle are you in?

[unborn loom]

9

Nah jk lol

Was at 𝓑𝓸𝓻𝓽𝓵𝓮 1

[cunning anvil]

Lol I was soooo confused, that’s an awesome image. Take advantage of those sky’s!!

[unborn loom]

Man i was there the worst time tho

I wanna go back so bad

Now that i have better equipment

[cyan cairn]

Not much, but taken through thy phone, and a telescope

This one was phone purely

Of the moon

[cunning anvil]

How far is it? I haven’t even found a spot like that near me.

[unborn loom]

I wen't to my summer house. It was located in an island where almost everything is bortle 1

CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK

but is cold

Now

[cunning anvil]

That’s pretty awesome! The cold is definitely a problem lol

[potent hazel]

reprocess of my mars from earlier since that one was frankly embarrassing

[edgy talon]

me personally i would record a video and the best frames using software

[cyan cairn]

Thank you, as a very recent beginner for astromany, I will use this advice for further pictures! Also, if you do not mind me asking, what software would you recommend?

[potent hazel]

pipp and autostakkert

[hollow tinsel]

What filter do you use?

[obtuse galleon]

Daystar Quark

[hollow tinsel]

Is this an eyepiece projection?

Looks epic

👍

[obtuse galleon]

Phone held to the eyepiece.

Thanks mate, appreciate that

[scarlet saddle]

Tried this yesterday...

[edgy talon]

enjoy

[edgy talon]

orion nebula

[unborn loom]

What happened

[edgy talon]

stacked two frames that some guy sent

[unborn loom]

Bruh

[edgy talon]

egg

[unborn loom]

Try focusing better next time

[edgy talon]

or record a video and pick out a frame

do you know how to stack

send me a video

ill stack it for you

do jupiter

what telecope do you have

whats the focal length

whats your lowest eyepiece

only 40x zoom?

get a 4mm eyepiece

100x

[unborn loom]

Get a 2x barlow

[hollow stirrup]

How do you stack?

[edgy talon]

sequator

[unborn loom]

Dss

Works better

[potent hazel]

My new best Jupiter, iPhone X through 8 inch dob

a lot of weird artifacts, took 2 hours of processing to squash them lol

[edgy talon]

looks nice

[potent hazel]

thanks

[edgy talon]

how did you stack it

[potent hazel]

pipp > autostakkert > registax > gimp

[edgy talon]

gotchu

[potent hazel]

i should really use winjupos, if i get any more clarity there will be very visible smearing from jupiter spinning

[edgy talon]

what magnification did you use to take that picture

[potent hazel]

1200mm telescope, 3x barlow, 9mm eyepiece. i dont remember the math for magnification off the top of my head

[unborn loom]

Astronomy.tools

[edgy talon]

bro

[edgy talon]

oh hell nah

[edgy talon]

399

[unborn loom]

Pushing it

[unborn loom]

?

[edgy talon]

ive tried it with binoculars

its not that accurate

[potent hazel]

it is accurate

it just doesnt look accurate

[edgy talon]

oh shoiot

guess my eyes are just dumb then

[potent hazel]

nah our eyes just make it look way bigger

[edgy talon]

our eyes just better then

[potent hazel]

yep

[edgy talon]

i should get some of those color eyepiece things

[potent hazel]

filters?

[edgy talon]

yeah

[potent hazel]

those are fun but theyre expensive

[edgy talon]

them chinese people make shit reall cheap

god thats a big link

but yeah

[potent hazel]

you dont want color filters

sometimes theyre useful but its much better to go for something like ha, oiii, and sii

[edgy talon]

oh shoot

them filters

what about uhc

[potent hazel]

uhc is fine but its cheap

[edgy talon]

yeah

im gettin me a

[potent hazel]

ive never used one but a lot of people say theyre ok

[edgy talon]

134mm 650mm telescope

[edgy talon]

when i get a cheap ass one ill tell you about it

[potent hazel]

great

[patent zodiac]

My best photo of Jupiter, Mars, Saturn! Felling proud of myself!

[potent hazel]

could you convert them to png?

[patent zodiac]

Sadly no i have no software for that

[potent hazel]

ok i can do it if you want

[unborn loom]

Send the scrrnshot atleast🙂

People arent gonna download them

[potent hazel]

wait actually i cant right now because i have to go cook something

[edgy talon]

das good

[rare kayak]

Lunar eclipse earlier this year

[edgy talon]

[modern bough]

iPhone 11 Orion. Sydney, Australia.

[lunar elm]

B7
iPhone7
Stacked and processed by 200
Untracked

[quartz crag]

@worldly idol btw ..

[white kraken]

Hey I've got about 360 frames of the moon through my 8in scope and I've processed them and I don't see a difference between the original and processed

first is the original and the 2nd is the processed

[torn arch]

Taken with only a pixel 4a and a tripod! It's amazing what the astro mode can do on the pixel. Note M31 at the upper middle right.

[lunar elm]

I’ve upgraded

[clear aspen]

If you need help just let me know, ill be here

( I own a 60d too )

[edgy talon]

looks cool

boys guess what

big dog gettin a telescope

[potent hazel]

What are you getting

[edgy talon]

a eq mounted telescope

650/134

https://www.telescope.com/Orion-Observer-134mm-Equatorial-Reflector-Telescope/p/134685.uts

no reviews

its new as hell though

[potent hazel]

Interesting. I’d be wary of small eq mounted newts, a lot of them are very cheap

[edgy talon]

yeah this one is probably cheaply made

the focuser is loose is what i heard about online

my ass was going crazy with a starblast and no focuser

[potent hazel]

If you want a better made telescope for a similar price I would go for the skywatcher heritage 130p or 150p

[edgy talon]

gotta get that eq mount though

[potent hazel]

For what? It’s still hand tracked so it won’t be very helpful for astrophotography, and it isn’t much easier for visual

[edgy talon]

slow motion controls

[potent hazel]

I use a dob and the lack of slow motion controls isn’t a real problem. I don’t feel like they would be very useful unless you’re at like 2000+ mm

[edgy talon]

das cool

that telescope im getting too is for

brighter deep sky

[potent hazel]

The heritage 130p and 150p are both just as good, if not better, for deep sky

If you haven’t ordered it yet, I would highly recommend switching to one of those, but it’s your money, not mine

[edgy talon]

oh your gonna love me

its coming sometime in decemeber

[potent hazel]

Ok, no real problem. Have fun!

[edgy talon]

lol you too

clear skies

ill send you pictures if i can

[bleak niche]

Aaa no

[edgy talon]

yes

[bleak niche]

Why

Get something actually good

[edgy talon]

i think the apeture is good

and all the other telescopes are like

40x more expensive

[bleak niche]

The mount isn’t. And the scope is crap

[edgy talon]

thats jus mean

it got that parabolic mirror though

[bleak niche]

No

And it has a crap focuser

Just don’t get it

[edgy talon]

bro

[bleak niche]

Get something worthwhile

[edgy talon]

is a starblast 4.5 worthwhile

[bleak niche]

You can get better scopes for cheaper

[bleak niche]

They are as good or better than that hunk of junk

[edgy talon]

the focal length of the one i had

was 450

[bleak niche]

The only thing that scope is good for is an onstep conversion and a much smaller scope mounted to it

[edgy talon]

it really limited the scope

[bleak niche]

How

450 is a great focal length

[edgy talon]

i needed a barlow lens

[bleak niche]

I use 135mm lol

[edgy talon]

4mm yeiled around

112.5x

[bleak niche]

Oh for planetary

[edgy talon]

yeah

[bleak niche]

Get a 6” dobsonian

[edgy talon]

i do that kinda shenanigans

[bleak niche]

Or even better a used 8”

[edgy talon]

that telescope is coming in december 💀

[bleak niche]

…

[edgy talon]

ive been looking for a long while too and i couldnt find any

[bleak niche]

You bought it without asking anyone?

[edgy talon]

no one really knows about it

[bleak niche]

This server I mean

Did you ask for recommendations

[edgy talon]

i need an eq mounted telescope

or a dob with a higher focal length

[bleak niche]

That thing will not make you happy.

[edgy talon]

i love them

[bleak niche]

Return it and get a 6” dob.

[edgy talon]

i love eq mounted telescope so much

[bleak niche]

How tf do you know?

[edgy talon]

they bring me so much joy

because i had one

[bleak niche]

You have never used that hunk of junk

[edgy talon]

i have

[bleak niche]

Why are you buying it again then

[edgy talon]

because'

im not trying to break my back with a lil dob

and the bigger dobs are more expensive

[bleak niche]

…

Mate

That thing will be heaps harder to move than a large dob

Eq scopes are super bulky

And a little dob can be carried with one hand.

[edgy talon]

i didnt really say anything about moving a dob around

[bleak niche]

Hm

[edgy talon]

thats not moving a lil dob around

thats usin it

[bleak niche]

They are called tabletop for a reason

[edgy talon]

i think lugging a table out there would be a lil bit more bulkier than a eq mounted telescope

[bleak niche]

How

A table for a dob is tiny

I have owned a EQ scope similar to that one and it was a massive pain to move

[edgy talon]

bro

i could hold that telescope and ride a barbie bike

(thats true)

[bleak niche]

I give up

Your money

Which you wasted

[edgy talon]

i am gonna love it so much

[bleak niche]

Maybe take advice from people why know what they are talking about?

[edgy talon]

can you hold a telescope and ride a bike

[bleak niche]

No, because that’s very bad for it.

You ruin collimation and the mount

[edgy talon]

you dont understand what trees do to a man

[bleak niche]

Carry it…

There is a reason 90% of planetary imagers get dobs.

[edgy talon]

and 10% ride bikes

[bleak niche]

How tf does that logic work mate…

[edgy talon]

but

what are your points on why the telescope is crap

[bleak niche]

Because the mount is crap, it lacks aperture and it’s got a crap focuser

[edgy talon]

well sometimes

[bleak niche]

It’s quite possible it won’t even focus with a camera

[edgy talon]

you just dont have those batteries with a telescope

[bleak niche]

What

[edgy talon]

how do you know the mount is crap

[bleak niche]

Because I saw the pictures

[edgy talon]

thats nearly the same mount that the star blast uses

[bleak niche]

No it isn’t.

[edgy talon]

let me see

so are you saying that all eq mounts are terrible

or is it just the two telescopes

[bleak niche]

Just that telescope

It’s got a cheap mount

You want to be in eq5 territory for that scope, not eq2

[edgy talon]

its an eq3

or is it

[bleak niche]

Eq3-2 then

That’s the mount I’d recommend for a dslr and under 135mm lens

And it’s not even motorised

[edgy talon]

and?

i dont mind if its motorised or not

[bleak niche]

What

[edgy talon]

it has slow motion controls

[bleak niche]

Lmao “slow motion”

[edgy talon]

wait wait wait

[bleak niche]

Fast jumping you mean

[edgy talon]

do you think im doing astrophotography

[bleak niche]

No.

[edgy talon]

then why would i really need a motorized mount

[bleak niche]

Because you spent extra on it when that money could have gone towards the part that matters, the scope…

You could have gotten a scope that’s 4x as good for the same price.

[edgy talon]

drop one

[bleak niche]

Used 8” dob

[edgy talon]

where could i find this

used 8" dob

[bleak niche]

Facebook marketplace

[edgy talon]

is this

8" dob bike useable

[bleak niche]

You carry it

[edgy talon]

oh hey

[bleak niche]

That scope you picked out is probably worse on a bike too

[edgy talon]

a ad just popped up for a bike

free

i dont know where you live

but

you got some rich people for them to be sellin a used 8" dob for 300

[bleak niche]

That’s what I paid

And I’ve seen 10” go for cheaper than what I paid

[edgy talon]

how much you pay for it

[bleak niche]

$500 AUD

[edgy talon]

thats alot

[bleak niche]

It’s like $50 more than the scope you wanted and is heaps better what

[edgy talon]

there some wacky telescopes on here

[potent hazel]

Oh my god this got heated

[edgy talon]

IT DID

[bleak niche]

Real

Just trying to get money to go towards a better deal

[potent hazel]

I mean formerly lmc is absolutely right, I was trying to be gentle but that thing is complete garbage

I would rather look through a camera lens than try to use that mount

[edgy talon]

i found another one

its called

celestron powerseeker 130eq

[bleak niche]

…

[potent hazel]

127*

[bleak niche]

Stop looking for EQ scopes for planetary

[edgy talon]

but

[bleak niche]

Spend on what matters, aperture

Dob is the cheapest aperture around

[potent hazel]

Honestly I don’t know why they still make unmotorized eq mounts

[edgy talon]

they got lil knobs on em

[bleak niche]

So

[edgy talon]

this some

pick the red pill pick the blue pill stuff

[bleak niche]

It isn’t if you just asked

[potent hazel]

Except one pill is simply correct, and the other pill is a cheap eq mount

[bleak niche]

If you asked people would have said to get an 8” dob

[edgy talon]

i like the cheap eq mount

im used to that

[bleak niche]

LMAO

[potent hazel]

To each their own I guess

I’ll enjoy my buttery smooth tracking and huge aperture

[bleak niche]

It’s your money, not ours which you burnt

[edgy talon]

ill enjoy my focuser that i probably wont use

[bleak niche]

What

[potent hazel]

You enjoy a slight breeze making it look like an earthquake, but at least you have little knobs

What

[edgy talon]

i love little knobs

[potent hazel]

How do you just not use a focuser

[edgy talon]

bro>

i thought you guys were actually good at this stuff

[potent hazel]

You will be out of focus?

[bleak niche]

What

Mate I do heaps of planetary

[edgy talon]

OH

the pointer things

[bleak niche]

…

[potent hazel]

I thought we were too, please teach me how to just not use my focuser

[edgy talon]

the lil scope on the top

[potent hazel]

Oh that’s a finder scope not a focuser

[edgy talon]

yeah i dont

[potent hazel]

That makes slightly more sense

[edgy talon]

really use that sometimes

[bleak niche]

The finder is one of the most important things on a planetary rig.

[edgy talon]

guess im just built different then

[potent hazel]

Still odd, but better than not using the focuser

[potent hazel]

Or you use a 300mm scope

[bleak niche]

Built widefield

[edgy talon]

straight up bicyclist

and no i actually do not bike with a telescope

[bleak niche]

I give up. You have burnt your money.

[potent hazel]

At least it isn’t a powerseeker

[bleak niche]

It basically is actually

Just rebranded

[potent hazel]

Fair

[edgy talon]

just a lil bit more parabolic

[bleak niche]

It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a bird Jones

[potent hazel]

Nah it’s parabolic and the focal length seemed right

[edgy talon]

even i wont touch those

[bleak niche]

Parabolic means nothing if the mount is so crap you can’t use it.

[edgy talon]

what if i could use the mount though

[bleak niche]

And that focuser is basically unusable

[potent hazel]

I had a better time just holding my powerseeker than using the mount, that’s how bad it was

[bleak niche]

What? For a dslr and lens? It needs a lot of work.

[edgy talon]

what if i just do visual

[bleak niche]

It’s still horrible

[potent hazel]

Luckily they just don’t use it

[bleak niche]

Visual on an EQ is absolutely horrible, even good mounts.

You wasted your money, return the scope while you still can.

[potent hazel]

Never have I been using my dob and wished I had slow motion controls

[edgy talon]

bro

this really got heated

[bleak niche]

Because we are trying to help you

And you are faking experience to prove us wrong

[edgy talon]

uh

[potent hazel]

And even if I wanted them, it would be comically easy to build my own mount and add them

[edgy talon]

i kinda do have experience

[potent hazel]

That’s a bit unfair to assume

[bleak niche]

Show your best picture and rig

[edgy talon]

the starblast 4.5 eq that i got had an eq mount

[potent hazel]

You had a starblast

[edgy talon]

i got a picture of parabolic mirror shards in a dust pan

[bleak niche]

Well, in the previous convo he has tried to say stuff

[potent hazel]

And that made you WANT an eq mount?

[edgy talon]

yes!!

me personally

i hate change

[potent hazel]

Jesus Christ, you’re beyond help

[potent hazel]

Ah ok

[bleak niche]

Real

[edgy talon]

say what

[bleak niche]

You said about how good that scope is. If you had done research or asked anyone here with proper experience you would know it’s a very bad scope

The act of looking at buying that scope proves lack of experience imho

[edgy talon]

i actually had no problems with using a eq mount

not even with the star blast

[potent hazel]

Have you used a dob before?

[bleak niche]

You are beyond help

[edgy talon]

i dont really have any money either

and no i havent

[bleak niche]

Well there is your problem

Never seen the light

[potent hazel]

Dobs. Are. Cheaper. Than. EQ mounts.

[edgy talon]

there is like

[bleak niche]

And infinitely better quality and views

[edgy talon]

no dob on the market

that has the same price as this

in my range

im talking distance range

[bleak niche]

Wait for one then

[potent hazel]

Skywatcher Heritage 130p

You can find even better used

[edgy talon]

mine still has more aperture which roki was gettin on me abt

like 4mm

thats alot

[potent hazel]

Aperture only matters if you can keep it pointed at the target

[bleak niche]

You. Can’t. Use. The. Aperture. With. That. Godforsaken. Mount.

[edgy talon]

i thought you were saying the telescope was trash too

[bleak niche]

It is

[potent hazel]

Oh it is

[bleak niche]

But the mount cripples it

[edgy talon]

if it has a parabolic mirror

im fine with it

[bleak niche]

When did I say that that scope was good

[potent hazel]

That is highly illogical

[edgy talon]

atleast it isnt a bird jones

[bleak niche]

.

[potent hazel]

That’s like if I was buying a car and I said if it has a v6, it’s good nothing else matters

[potent hazel]

But at least it isn’t front wheel drive

[edgy talon]

see

my telescopes are required to have rwd

[bleak niche]

You are beyond help

[potent hazel]

I am making what’s called an analogy

[bleak niche]

Get experience before buying anything

[edgy talon]

i had experience though

[bleak niche]

Clearly

[edgy talon]

i had a old starblast with 450mm of focal legnth

and 114mm of apeture

the updated that thing to 500 now

[bleak niche]

I would recommend the starblast over that scope

[edgy talon]

thats illogical too to asume that i havent even touched a telescope before

[bleak niche]

The starblast is decent

[edgy talon]

it is

i needed a barlow lens for it

[bleak niche]

So why tf are you downgrading your scope

[edgy talon]

because i couldnt use any eyepiece in my price range to its fullest potential

[potent hazel]

Wait

[bleak niche]

…

[potent hazel]

Eyepieces were too expensive

[edgy talon]

yeah

[potent hazel]

So you bought a new telescope

[edgy talon]

no

so you know how mirrors break right

[potent hazel]

Not if you take care of your telescope

[bleak niche]

So you broke your scope and now want to downgrade?

[edgy talon]

i was trying to clean it

[bleak niche]

[potent hazel]

Which is also not taking care of your telescope

[bleak niche]

Cleaning the mirror isn’t looking after your telescope

[edgy talon]

the ground took care of my telescope

[bleak niche]

Hm

[potent hazel]

If you had done any research you would know that you almost never clean your mirrors

[edgy talon]

that thang was dusty

[bleak niche]

So????

[edgy talon]

i aint use that thing in like a year

[potent hazel]

Were you using windex or dish soap?

[edgy talon]

no

microfiber cloth

and distilled water

[bleak niche]

[potent hazel]

With the dust cap off?

[edgy talon]

no

[potent hazel]

Ok that’s at least better than most people do

[edgy talon]

but it did have a fairbit of dust in it

[potent hazel]

Then where did the dust come from

It doesn’t just appear

[bleak niche]

Dust on the mirror doesn’t mean you have to clean the scope. Experience will tell you that.

[edgy talon]

i got sisters man

[potent hazel]

So do I, they don’t go around putting dust on my mirror

[edgy talon]

atleast they dont take your dust cap off

[bleak niche]

All of this doesn’t mean you have to clean your telescope

[potent hazel]

Wait… your sisters took your dust cap off? May I ask why?

[edgy talon]

i dont even know why

[potent hazel]

Did your dog eat your homework too?

[edgy talon]

most of my homework is online

[bleak niche]

Lmao

[edgy talon]

i come to the conclusion

im getting the telescope

[potent hazel]

Anyway, sorry for your loss (of money), it’s been fun chatting. I hope you enjoy that telescope as much as possible, (not much) good night

[bleak niche]

I would use colourful language here

[edgy talon]

i will have a wonderful chrismas night

there are some hot neighbours if its cloudy

[bleak niche]

I give up.

[potent hazel]

Jesus what are you 6

[edgy talon]

no

cant you tell ive been messing with you two the whole time

but i am actually gonna get the telescope

[potent hazel]

Yeah I was pretty suspicious

Oh my ducking god

[edgy talon]

AWW

it be like that

[bleak niche]

I am speechless. You.

[edgy talon]

you can buy like a clock drive for this thing

[bleak niche]

@frigid sparrow troll here

[edgy talon]

you was poor shamin me

[potent hazel]

No he literally wasn’t

[edgy talon]

i cant help i cant afford a dob

[potent hazel]

He suggested a cheaper, better option because you said you were on a lower budget

[potent hazel]

Yes you can, we suggested multiple

[edgy talon]

i really do not like change

i loved my eq mounted starblast

[potent hazel]

Ok I’m out

[edgy talon]

i will use this one

ok bye

[frigid sparrow]

so do I really need to purge back an hour?

[potent hazel]

LMAO

[edgy talon]

i wanna read it

[bleak niche]

Yes.

[potent hazel]

Yeah probably, make this chat readable again

I realize that this entire chat was not only brain dead but also off topic 💀

[bleak niche]

Also wasting an hour of my time with a troll.

[potent hazel]

Ryan you could also help convince this guy to get a 130p instead of whatever the telescope he’s getting is

But yeah he probably hasn’t even bought it

[edgy talon]

i bought it

[potent hazel]

Mhm

[edgy talon]

no like

legit

i actually bought it

[potent hazel]

Whatever, can’t wait to see you back asking for recs in a month

[frigid sparrow]

that is fun, dyno does not work in threads....

[edgy talon]

whats a rec?

[potent hazel]

Recommendation

[edgy talon]

planetery filters

[potent hazel]

Welp, this is a piece of history now

[edgy talon]

i can delete my messages if you want

[edgy talon]

i love that

[potent hazel]

I hope nobody was interested in posts before this convo

[frigid sparrow]

guess I just need to ban all involved to clear the messages

[edgy talon]

bye guys

big dog goin doin

[potent hazel]

Ahh you can’t do that my name is red

I am above the normies

do not mention 134mm

[edgy talon]

boy

you have a good night

[edgy talon]

this will make you extra speechless

have a good night

clear skies

[edgy talon]

you too

have a good night and clear skies

big dog out

[unborn loom]

@edgy talon what exactly do you want to do with that scope again?

[lunar elm]

Thanks caphe

I’ll ask prob around Xmas day cuz that’s when I get it(official date is 24e because my dads x,as day is the 25e)

[lunar elm]

Thanks

[edgy talon]

planets

[faint pine]

Any tips to get better planet pics? Using an 8" dob and they look great with my eyes but not so much on my phone

[potent hazel]

Shorter exposure

[faint pine]

tried that, just looks dimmer

I feel like the samsung camera app is what is really limiting it

is there a good app to use?

[potent hazel]

i use fotogear but idk if thats availible on samsung

[faint pine]

ah

[potent hazel]

It works decently well, here’s my best Jupiter with it

[faint pine]

looks awesome

I might try using a webcam, I feel like the physical size of my phone camera is the main issue, since it's quite small

[potent hazel]

webcams work wonders

[faint pine]

yeah I tried it on my old 76/700 scope, saturn was just a dot at 35x magnification but the colors were much more natural

[unborn loom]

If you don't have a crappy phone it should be good

Cuz i got this with a 3.5 refractor

With my samsung

[faint pine]

I had my settings a little messed up

[potent hazel]

The next step is to take a video and stack it

[faint pine]

Unfortunately the controls with video are extremely limited

[potent hazel]

Really as long as you can get it dark enough it will likely be better than photo

[faint pine]

Yeah I can't really get it below a white ball

[potent hazel]

Is that still on the default camera app?

[faint pine]

Yeah unfortunately I couldn't find fotogear

[potent hazel]

Pretty much any third party camera app will let you adjust exposure, I would just pick one at random and see if it works

[faint pine]

Thx, will try

[unborn loom]

@faint pine pro mode on ur camera.

What phone do you have

[faint pine]

A71

works for images but not for videos

[unborn loom]

I have pro video aswell

[faint pine]

hm

[faint pine]

finally managed to get the great red spot, unfortunately the weather is awful right now and I can't get enough frames to stack them without horrible artifacts

[elder birch]

Finally submitted my astro app to Apple after months of testing—ended up naming it AstroShader. Will post here when it's ready for testing for any iOS users 🔧

What would people most want from an astrophotography app?
Planetary imaging, auto mountain/building extraction, handheld mode, etc. Trying to work out what to look into next...

(Also my old account was @tardy current for few people who I'd chatted to about progress up to now)

Would love to see more!!!

[gray cairn]

Thanks I'll be sure to keep sending more as I take them

[edgy talon]

you bad ❤️❤️

[potent hazel]

This is as good as my phone images have gotten. Just got my ASI224MC, so I have to excuse myself from this forum.

It’s been fun imaging with my crappy iPhone X camera, I’ll see you all on the other side

[edgy talon]

no

[hexed whale]

The low res moon one is with my s22 ultra with no telescope, same with the earthglow one, but the other that aren't widefield (orion nebula only I think) is my scope too, the orion one was my first ever m42 image!

[unborn loom]

[hexed whale]

Oh I forgot one, carina region, single 20 sec exposure and overprocessed

[arctic lark]

First photo from my 12”, just to test how it would look

[chilly vessel]

Edited your first moon pic

[elder birch]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for iPhone users to test my app, AstroShader.
Download here: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/astroshader/id6444631986

Please feel free to send through any feedback or feature requests (either DM or on here).
Also if anyone wants to join the beta program please DM and I can register you.

[potent hazel]

I can’t use it until tomorrow night, but it actually seems pretty good 👍

[faint pine]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/875156953230376971/1047576426599153704/image.png

not great

really disappointing actually, since saturn looks absolutely incredible through the eyepiece

[hexed whale]

Phone ap for planets isn't great yeah

[potent hazel]

Phones aren’t that bad

With practice you should be able to get a little better than the eyepiece

[potent hazel]

That looks like a stacking problem

Some of the images aren’t quite aligned properly and that makes it look pretty blurry

[faint pine]

ah

yeah I noticed after a while

[faint pine]

seems like stacking such a low resolution image isn't worth it

this is a better result with just some editing

[tardy current]

Looks better.
Do you mind if I try editing (in the app I posted above)?

[faint pine]

go ahead 🙂

[tardy current]

Little bit of detail comes out with some stacked sharpening filters, but also the noise.

You could try stacking more images so you can bring out the detail without the noise

[faint pine]

yeah

one question, does a phone mount significantly improve my image quality or does it just make it more comfortable to use?

[patent zodiac]

Ahh the constelation Orion. Captured with 3200 iso and 15 second exposure, did some editing in lightroom. Phone is the Xiaomi redmi note 9 pro.

[tardy current]

I guess it stabilises the phone against the eyepiece so will reduce some blur.
So will allow a longer exposure (or video for planetary)

[faint pine]

so is it worth it or should I just wait and get a planetary camera?

[tardy current]

You could #🤓-ask-a-nerd they’ll have some good advice.

I kind of like the challenge with a phone, but accept I’ll never get close to some of the amazing images posted on here

[potent hazel]

That depends. If you think it’s going to be a few months until you can get a camera, go for the phone mount first. But if it’s just going to be a few days or weeks rid better to just save

[faint pine]

probably gonna be a while, I'll go for the mount

[wind spoke]

guys it has been fun but it is time to leave

good luck everyone

[potent hazel]

Congrats

[heady lark]

I’ll check it out

[arctic lark]

you sure

[hexed whale]

No, but I didn't have that much fl so not the best

Those images at 53x magnification and then 6x with my phone

[elder birch]

Great thank you!
Would appreciate any feedback on the results (and what settings you tried)

[faint pine]

my first DSO

(I still have no mount so it was really difficult to get a picture)

[faint pine]

Incredible seeing today

Like looking at a picture

Not even stacked yet

[patent zodiac]

What camera did you use and what telescope?

[faint pine]

samsung A71, 8" dob

stacked and sharpened

[arctic lark]

More photos from 12”, bortle 5 just to see how they would thrn out

Bottom is flame nebula

Middle is crab nebula

[unborn loom]

Nice i can see all

Now just get a phone mount

10x better results

[faint pine]

yeah I also need one

planets turned out surprisingly well without but DSOs are nearly impossible to capture without a mount

[arctic lark]

I have made diy phone mounts so i will use that now that i have a 25mm 1.25”

Just made out of cardboard, work well

[cyan cairn]

goofy looking moon. Been waiting for a clear day to use my new barlow lense. Finally happened

Cool

[quasi ivy]

phones are useful arent they

i was using autostackkert wrong for the past 4 months'

[edgy talon]

we still love yoiu

[spare ravine]

how do I connect a 25mm eyepiece to a phone adapter if it had a big viewing angle???

[unborn loom]

Connect it

[lunar elm]

I did it, I got Neptune

[chilly vessel]

Hell yeah

I saw Uranus 2 nights ago

[tulip coyote]

recent attempt to get a picture of Orion nebula with a I phone 7 plus

I did a 3 second exposure with a app I have

[unborn loom]

Use night mode

[tulip coyote]

is there like a app you suggest? I just got this weird app that is called long Exposure

[unborn loom]

Idk ur phone might have the night mode.

It can still somewhat get the color. And there is no noise and trailing🙂

[tulip coyote]

I don't think it has one

[unborn loom]

Iphones:

[unborn loom]

The quality is sht because i downloaded it from messenger but u get the idea

[tulip coyote]

ooo ok

[unborn loom]

It's either 5 sec on nightmode or 14sec

Or 7

But if you want to stack ALWAYS USE RAW

[tulip coyote]

yeah I jsut checked my phone does not have it

[lunar elm]

Best I can get is tiff

[tulip coyote]

?

[lunar elm]

On my iPhone 7 I can get tiff files

Which are better then jpeg but worst then raw

[elder birch]

I'm looking for people to test out my iPhone app called AstroShader if you wanted to try a new one: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/astroshader/id6444631986

It's free

All the camera controls are manual and will save as a 16bit tiff

[dawn hemlock]

Astroshader kool

[bleak niche]

Does it actually save as raw 16 bit or is it a converted from jpg tif?

[tulip coyote]

looks cool does it like use the camera for exposure or is it just like brightness like most other maps do

Ill try it out tonight

[real cloud]

Has anyone tried Ha filter onto eyepiece and taking shots with the phone?
I'm wondering if it would be able to cut through the moonlight and show me the horsehead nebula or the orion nebula.

[elder birch]

It saves as 16bit tiff. No jpegs here 🙅‍♂️.
16bit tiff is the default save, there are also options to export as png (also 16bit) and HEIF if you want smaller file size.

[bleak niche]

very cool

ill give it a download

[elder birch]

(It's tiff as the app automatically aligns and stacks during capture.)

If you are in a dark sky area I would love to test 🙏 .

Example settings for a iPhone13/14 main camera wide-field shot are; 5s exposure time, ISO 200, 25-250 exposures (as long as you care to wait). Focus is manual—so worth setting before bumping the exposure time so it's less laggy.

[unborn loom]

Is it a full 25 sec exposure?

[elder birch]

Yes ✅ The app let's you manually adjust camera settings (exposure time, ISO, white balance, focus). Then aligns and stacks. Then also has some edits tools to help astro images.
I wanted to make a full end-to-end astro imaging app for iPhone... Not there yet but adding new things every week

[bleak niche]

downloading it now. I have B3 skies but tonight its bright with the moon.

looks a lot better than the other app i had before "imagecam"
lot nicer UI and better control.

[elder birch]

So this has a slightly long answer...
iPhone cameras have an exposure time limit of 1s or 1/3s depending on model.
However, you can get round this by stacking RAW sensor data. However, a full 25s exposure on a recent iPhone camera will produce a white image, even in a dark setting due to the native ISO range, noise etc. 😫

So the 25s exposure is a 25s average stacked (not-aligned) exposure of whatever the exposure range limit is. This represent a single "virtual exposure". These exposure count is the total number of virtual exposures are then aligned and stacked to produce the final image.

There's also some other stuff going on to digitally enhance the image as when you stack you can increase bit depth beyond what the sensor starts with 🙃

Another user pointed out it would make sense for the exposure length to always = brighter image (e.g. not just better SNR) so I'll be releasing a new version this week that will work this way.

(This app is only possible due to the speed of recent GPUs on iPhones for all this processing)

Sorry for the long answer here

[unborn loom]

What can i say

Iphone

[elder birch]

Haha yes exactly!
I thought this would take me a few months but has taken around 9, as I had to build an alternative image processing pipeline to get round the various issues

[unborn loom]

Well, good job. Seems like a good app

[elder birch]

Still some way to go. All the feedback from astrophonetographers here will help

[unborn loom]

In the future, make an app for android

[real cloud]

I tried screwing in an Anstronomik 6nm Ha filter onto my 25mm plossl and got this.
Single sub, ISO 800, 30 sec. (full moon night)
S22 Ultra on ST80 scope.

I have like another 85 of these subs but both Sequator and DSS threw it back at me saying not enough stars.

[swift egret]

im going to a bortle 1 zone soon anyone got any tips

[unborn loom]

Yes

Get as much as data as possible

[tulip coyote]

one question how does the stacking work on it

[elder birch]

The stacking is automatic during the capture (to save storage as the tiffs are ~100Mb each).

You set the "Exposures" and the app will align and stack during capture

This is an example of an output image with the exposures set to 50—you can see the alignment and stacking bottom and left

[spice peak]

Cool

[elder birch]

Orion (moon doing it's best to ruin the shot 🌝)
AstroShader: 5s, x100, ISO 150

[edgy talon]

what iso?

[tulip coyote]

ight cool

[tulip coyote]

took this with my iphone 7 plus

[cunning anvil]

Has been cloudy the past few nights so I haven’t been able to take the telescope out. But I was just out with my dog and noticed the most perfect ring with the moon inside, it was absolutely huge and using my iPhone 14 pro max: this was the best picture I could get. Has anyone seen this before?

The original is taken in RAW format so I converted it.

[tulip coyote]

after stacking 100 photos (btw thanks to the dev of astroshader) I got a picture of jupiter with a Iphone 7 plus

[arctic lark]

Doing video will get the best results

[swift egret]

i messed up post

[lunar elm]

Only one frame

[tulip coyote]

if I do its just a blurry blob I do best with pictures most of the time

[arctic lark]

you got a phone mount?

[tulip coyote]

yeah

EQ mount, refractor telescope

[rough chasm]

how do i image with a phone to fix the moon over doing the iso

[tulip coyote]

I could probably get a better picture if I had a gosh dang barlow lens, I hope I can get one after december cuz when I wnet to go get one from amazon it said it was gonna get to me by january 20th

[tulip coyote]

what phone?

[rough chasm]

13 pro ma

[tulip coyote]

it should if you tap the moon with the camera app a yellow box pops up it should go ahead and lower it but there is a sun icon on the right drag that down and it should lower the ISO

[rough chasm]

look at this, taken at iso 2500

way to bright i say

[tulip coyote]

you using a telescope ?

[rough chasm]

nah just the phone

[tulip coyote]

hmm

[rough chasm]

but you can image the moon with a phone?

i remember i tried a while ago with a telescope this is what i got

[tulip coyote]

ehh in theory try astroshader its a app that will let you change the exposure and ISO

[rough chasm]

ok

[tulip coyote]

I used it to get this

[arctic lark]

lower exposure

could also be ur focal length maybe

[tulip coyote]

he was using it with his bare phone

[arctic lark]

oh

[tulip coyote]

cameras on a phone are not the best sometimes with out a telescope

[rough chasm]

i dont use my telescope alot cuz it is pretty wobbly

[tulip coyote]

sounds like a bad mount

what is your telescope anyways

[rough chasm]

idk the brand

its some old 900mm fl

without a brand

[tulip coyote]

is it a reflector or refractor

[rough chasm]

the only things it can image is jupiters moons and its orange stripes and it can image saturns rings

refractor

its aperture is 70mm

[tulip coyote]

sounds like it has a cheap mount

I jsut deal with it and just go easy on one of the telescopes I have

but really sometimes you can't help with the wobble

[rough chasm]

i want to get a dobsonian

they are nice for planetary

[tulip coyote]

ah yes the good old dobsonian

[rough chasm]

the one i have in mind is like a 16” dobsonian

it would get nice surface detail of the moon

[tulip coyote]

those things cost some $$$$$

[potent hazel]

True, however a strange number of people get them for free

[tulip coyote]

yeah I have heard that idk how

[rough chasm]

wait how?

[potent hazel]

Probably some old guy who had one died and whoever was managing his will didn’t know what to do with it so they just make a free listing to get rid of it

You have to get pretty lucky to find one but it happens

[arctic lark]

what dont get one that big when you start ouy

[tulip coyote]

weird

[rough chasm]

so hes just casually giving away a telescope which can get almost nasa quality planetary

[arctic lark]

if you want moon detail get a 12

or 10

[potent hazel]

To be fair they’re a pain in the ass to sell

[tulip coyote]

how do you know this is the question

[rough chasm]

may i ask where you can find these free listimgs?

[tulip coyote]

ebay probably

[potent hazel]

Depends on where you live, for the US cloudy nights is the best

[potent hazel]

No eBay sucks for astro gear

[tulip coyote]

well ill keep that in mind

[potent hazel]

Another good option is to join an astronomy club

[tulip coyote]

I did

got a local one where I live

[rough chasm]

well that didnt work

[arctic lark]

why are you going for a 16 this fast

[rough chasm]

they are decent

[arctic lark]

if you want a large scope as ur 2nd telescope just get a 12 flextube or something

[potent hazel]

Get an 8 inch dob first. Easy to use, and very easy to sell lager if you want

[arctic lark]

yes

[rough chasm]

they good?

[arctic lark]

yes

[rough chasm]

may i see a image of planetary?

[arctic lark]

the 8 in my experience gave good views of the moon

[potent hazel]

As an 8 inch dob owner, there are VERY good reasons not to go bigger than an 8 inch if you have never had an 8 inch

Any bigger than that won’t fit in most cars, and is impossible to carry as one piece

[tulip coyote]

wait can you send the link for the cloudy nights store

[arctic lark]

you need an account

[tulip coyote]

ah

[arctic lark]

which is why you should get the flextubes like i got

[potent hazel]

It’s cloudynights.com or something, just google and you can find it

[potent hazel]

I mean the account is free, it isnt a big deal

[arctic lark]

yea

[potent hazel]

Cloudy nights is hands down the best place to get used gear in the us, was pretty surprised by the kinds of deals I could find there

[arctic lark]

if only i lived in the us lol

[potent hazel]

Nah US is terrible for buying gear

UK is wayyyy better

There’s some surprising stuff on cloudy nights too, I saw someone selling their entire house

The only reason they could put it on there was because it came with the observatory on the roof

[arctic lark]

lol

[tulip coyote]

yeah idk whats with the usa and just astronomy gear

[potent hazel]

I think I know exactly why

It’s because all of the telescope companies are based in the UK, so they have to pay export taxes to sell in other countries

So they have to add like 30%+ to the price to keep it profitable

[tulip coyote]

sadge

[lunar elm]

Bad mars

[hollow stirrup]

I have the same type of telescope as you, a 70/900 refractor, these are some of my best shots using it (only with a phone camera)

[faint pine]

Also saw one last week, it is quite impressive

[cunning anvil]

That is awesome!!!! It really was impressive!! I tried to look into it and I guess its got something to do with weather, some people say it will rain and others say it will snow after seeing this.

[thin marten]

It did rain here after that...

[cunning anvil]

Oh wow so it’s true!!! That’s crazy

[thin marten]

Well it didn't really rain that hard (it was like that neverending annoying tiny droplets)

And i also heard that there's a cyclone rollin near by....

So it could be even because of that

[sleek agate]

@thin marten did u see that moon ring on friday?

[thin marten]

Yeah

[chilly vessel]

At least I can tell it is mars

[sleek agate]

even i saw it then !

[thin marten]

Cool

The weather is really wierd rn

I live under those "cloudy" area

[sleek agate]

same

[dull imp]

I have a S22 Ultra but my pics of stars seem too unfocused and blurry. For pro mode I use manual focus of .8

Should I change that or should I not be using a phone ;_;

[sleek agate]

change it to . 95 - .98

[faint pine]

it actually did not rain or snow where I am but it was extremely humid

[smoky yoke]

Ignore the foreground and ugly gradient lol

[lunar elm]

Barely

[chilly vessel]

Here's what I got

[lunar elm]

Thasts way better

[chilly vessel]

Btw can you stack?

[spice peak]

Thats really good

[lunar elm]

Yes

[chilly vessel]

Could you help

[lunar elm]

Should I do digital zoom though

[chilly vessel]

Thanks

[chilly vessel]

I did use it yes

[lunar elm]

I’m not great but I could try

[chilly vessel]

Thank you

[lunar elm]

I can’t really for pictures, it’s really for planetary vids

[chilly vessel]

Never mind then

[unborn loom]

@chilly vessel is ez

U want to stack deep sky pics?

[chilly vessel]

Planets

[unborn loom]

Oh

[chilly vessel]

But can you still help?

[unborn loom]

Use pipp,autostakkert and registax

[chilly vessel]

alr

[chilly vessel]

idk what to do

everytime I try processing everything goes wrong

i'm sick of having to ask people to help me stack

[unborn loom]

Did you watch youtube?

[chilly vessel]

Yes

[unborn loom]

If u still are having problems upload ur data to #1021002743080558642

Some people might help u

[chilly vessel]

I popped it in processing

[chilly vessel]

idek where the file pipp popped out

[unborn loom]

upload it to share ur data

[chilly vessel]

ok

[cunning anvil]

It didn’t rain or snow here as well, where I live it rarely rains and never snows. But it had rained a few days before which is why it was cloudy. I guess that ring will remain a mystery!

[faint pine]

Ring nebula

How I managed to find it is beyond me

I need to look away from it for it to actually show

[unborn loom]

Did you see it with ur eyes?

And what bortle

[faint pine]

Yeah, and bortle 7-8ish

Honestly no idea how to measure it though

[unborn loom]

And what scope?

[unborn loom]

Lightpollutionmap.info

[faint pine]

8 inch dob

Yeah bortle 7

Quick question, is the dumbbell nebula a similar size/brightness?

[cunning anvil]

Yes it is similar size, brightness I guess will depend on the scope but I’d say yes

[faint pine]

ah

thx

[tulip coyote]

nice

im still waiting for the moon to go away before I take pictures of it

[sullen bison]

17 min of exposure
Orion Constellation With somewhat visible Nebula

[elder birch]

This was 4mins of data, little bit more detail coming out. (Edited on iPhone too; AstroShader+Photos app. One for the purists 😂 )

I think the level of light pollution is making it hard to get more detail out. Hopefully will be able to test from a darker area soon

[potent hazel]

Better than my first Orion shot with a dslr

[cunning anvil]

Which iPhone?

[elder birch]

iPhone13

I have access to an iPhoneX so will try some tests with AstroShader+telescope on that too. Just for comparison

Does anyone know if any of the iPhone star finder apps has an option to work rotated (ie when the phone is attached to the side/top of your scope) ?

Really good for a phone!

[elder birch]

Hey, there are some bits in the guide here: https://astroshader.notion.site/Guide-FAQ-c870cd0606d74a26bc2dd26e81112e16
Apologies I haven't got any other videos or tutorials yet. Will try and work on some...

One more general point for AP (rather than specific to AstroShader) is that the editing can make a lot of difference. The attached image is a before and after. The main changes I did were push the low light, set the black point and temp then added a small amount of sharpness at a radius of 2, 5 and 15

[limpid skiff]

Can I ask if you used tracking if not how long did you do your exposures and how many did you do and what was the telescopes focal length?

It was using a skywatcher 130p (focal length 650), 40mm eyepiece connected to iPhone.
I'm using an AZ GTI tracking mount and managed to get 10s exposures (x100 for that image), I shoot off a balcony so can't align properly just "point and track" off 3 random stars I can see. Maybe could push this higher if I could align.
I'm also in a B9 with very bad local light pollution so expect almost anywhere else I'd get better detail in the more faint regions of the nebula

...OK I've found a combo of bugs that was degrading image quality (especially on iPhones older than 12). It's been fixed and hopefully will be released in the next couple of days. Whatever the cause in the next release you'll see a noticeable improvement.

AstroShader v1.0.2 is now available.
The major update is here should be a big jump in image quality and ability to bring out details in editing.
