it got rained on?

[patent zodiac]

Ye while i was asleep

[magic abyss]

damn

[patent zodiac]

I thought that there was going to be no rain

[magic abyss]

it happens

[patent zodiac]

Yeh

Well good night for you and i gotta go pack

[magic abyss]

recomendation i got from an experienced guy, use medical grade distilled water

[magic abyss]

bye bye

[ornate void]

caught Saturn and Andromeda Galaxy from my dads phone!

[sick rain]

That's the most likely reason

[patent zodiac]

Yeh, saul goodman explained everything to me

[sick rain]

Ok

[spice peak]

Lmao

[boreal vessel]

When it comes to phones I gotta say, a full stack in average seeing is equal to one frame with an astrocam in good seeing

[sick rain]

This probably can't be applied to every phone

And every astrocam

[boreal vessel]

For me and my phone and cam

[sick rain]

Ok

[boreal vessel]

One exposure vs a full stack (the other photo is worse because I took a photo of my laptop screen using my phone)

[edgy talon]

send me tiff please

[boreal vessel]

I’m not home

I’ll try restacking it

With my data laptop

Dayum, yall leaving me like nothing, my boss still havent call me to work

[cobalt brook]

First time being able to photograph a cool moon, I'm a newbie

[edgy talon]

now its time to take a video and stack it

+full moons are one of the most boring objects to image

[cobalt brook]

I have done this and am transferring the video rn

[cobalt brook]

Well, I'm not rich and it's the one thing I can do with my equipment, I'm a big astro noob

[edgy talon]

you dont need tracking to take a video

[cobalt brook]

Didn't say that

I'm still very new to this whole thing so I'm still leaning

The moon is one thing I know I can practice on so that's where I'm starting

I've taken some others but obv edited photos too so....

[edgy talon]

stacked with?

[cobalt brook]

Nothing

Just an image I took and used Adobe Lightroom to change it a bit

[sick rain]

An old one, but messed a bit with the sliders

I should probably remove some of the stars

[cobalt brook]

Any help is much appreciated... Why does AS do this?

[chilly vessel]

did you spam AP?

[cobalt brook]

Spam ap?

I'm very new to this, first time using autostakkert for a video

Used pipp then now using AS but it went very went

Wrong*

[chilly vessel]

send the data to my dm's I'll try it tmr

google drive works

[cobalt brook]

@chilly vessel I just restarted and used pipp again and it saved a bunch of photos not a video 😦

Nvm I think I know why

[gilded relic]

Because you selected the moon as your processing options that's normal you just have to put all of those frames in Autostakkert .
That problem is probably from your alignment points if you used a few alignment points now use more or if you used a lot of alignment points now use less or go with a lot of alignment points

But I think you should definitely use more

[cobalt brook]

That's totally not confusing lol

I have a 12gb approx 3500 frame video from pipp, I'm now processing it with about 17 AP's... No clue what I'm doing here lol

Maybe I just don't have a very clear video tbh 😭

I am blown away, just discovered this "expert raw" photo mode wtf!? It has star tracking!

[unborn loom]

Yes

[cobalt brook]

@boreal vessel some androids, yes

That's your choice I guess

[boreal vessel]

Expert raw is only for Samsung

[cobalt brook]

I just priced out a new 23 ultra, fk they expensive lol

50 +/-$ a month tho so that could work

Got a trade in for my phone.... You will never believe what they offered me for a note 20 ultra 512 GB 5g phone........ 150$.... Rip off 😂

[unborn loom]

[fair trellis]

40 minutes?

Dam

Thats only 4 minutes with S21 ultra

[cobalt brook]

@fair trellis what "bortle" I think they call it

Curious cuz I can now do that with my camera but need a clear night ffs

[fair trellis]

Wdym? Whats a bortle u mean?

[cobalt brook]

Nah what bortle were you in for your shot?

[fair trellis]

[silk gust]

That has to be something wrong with your processing method

40mins in a b3 should yield much better results

[cobalt brook]

I can only get 4 near me 😦

Is there a good light pollution map? I use lightpolutionmap.info but it's only updated last in 2015.....

[amber dome]

Yeah, but it has a terrible walking noise issue. @spring viper I processed it a bit for you

[iron bear]

No

There's not much vignetting in the single frame.

[spring viper]

I have very strong vignetting during processing, as well as very strong noise at the edges of the frame. My phone doesn't have the best camera. And there are few details due to the fact that I live at 53 °, where the sun illuminates the atmosphere, photo from the beginning of July.

Maybe my ISO is too high, 1000

[rare summit]

I just started astrophotography with a phone, does anyone here have experience with the halide app?

i just realised it has no video functionality

[patent zodiac]

If your phone supports video on pro mode use that, its the best option

[rare summit]

It doesn’t. It’s an iPhone 8+

[patent zodiac]

I guess you can't do planerary

I recomend you to buy an astro camera

[ember abyss]

Do you take flats before or after your image session?

[amber dome]

After

[lone mica]

After because you need the exact same focus for flats

[wind spoke]

ss ?

[ember abyss]

yeh but isn't the focus drifting throughout night anyway. I take them after as well but I'd like to do it first to get it out of the way. If I focus on my object and then do it, it should be fine right?

[edgy talon]

shutter speed

[wind spoke]

İ was holding the phone

[elder birch]

This was an iPhone13 from last week

[ember abyss]

what bortle?

[edgy talon]

bro just go into iso or exposure and lower it

[chilly vessel]

is that a naked chestnut

[ember abyss]

It's a undiscovered asteroid, I named it astropotato69-1

[wind spoke]

sorry,i thought higher would be better cause i was holding

[elder birch]

B3 although battling the full moon

[ember abyss]

looks really good for a phone tho

[elder birch]

This was another from earlier in the night (50x 4s, ISO 3000) less Milky Way visible but quite like the composition rising above the light from the town/haze

[ember abyss]

crazy what phones can do, I'll be at a b2 for the perseids this weekend and will try it out myself. Got a new phone recently.

[elder birch]

Feels like the last few years has really pushed the boundaries.
Also this is an iPhone, I think some of the Samsungs and Xiaomis can do much better!

[ember abyss]

which iphone you gotß

[elder birch]

iPhone13

[ember abyss]

nice, that's a decent camera

I will mainly image with my 80D over the weekend, but will surely put the phone to the test

Maybe I can even capture the perseids in a video 🤔

[edgy talon]

lower, less trail

[unborn loom]

Yes, a higher/fast shutter speed will be better. Also use the lowest iso possible but still having a perfectly exposed image

[edgy talon]

please image at astrodark

[edgy talon]

no?

just do a 800 iso, 1/250 second shot of saturn??

[woven crown]

Saturn doing its thing

[unborn loom]

Huh?

[ember abyss]

Well, dead tired at work for 3h of cloud data, nice.

[dreamy stone]

bruhhh

everytime theres an astronomical event to watch, its ruined by clouds

i rlly want to see the meteor shower but my chances seem unlikely

[dreamy stone]

ig

[patent zodiac]

Damn it

[ember abyss]

ya weather looks shitty, I drive to the b2 anyway, if I get lucky there will be up to 3h with very little clouds

[dreamy stone]

how accurate is nightshift btw

[ember abyss]

nothing is tbh

Probably like 1min total for each with the Nexstar 8SE and an iPhone Xr

These are from dark skies

[fair trellis]

Dang .

[fair trellis]

I am mostly in bortle 3 so no problem about that

I should try that tbh

[wind spoke]

Wow

Darker than the locations I shot those at

They were in B5

[fair trellis]

Whoa

I should see a lot

[wind spoke]

I have a really good scope for galaxies with phone

[dreamy stone]

had my phone taking pictures of the meteor shower before its peak- I stopped it from taking pictures early so i only didn't catch any meteors in the picture, still came out really cool w/ the clouds though. edited in lightroom

[wind spoke]

what scope is that taken from?

[spring viper]

Celestron 114/900

[wind spoke]

is it tracked?

[elder birch]

I think that might be the effect of the eyepiece exit pupil, as opposed to optical vignetting (but could be wrong).

I’ve found the same effect can be so strong it throws off the alignment process so the images can’t be stacked properly without cropping out the dark edge.

[spring viper]

Yes

[spring viper]

Maybe

[wind spoke]

oh

great

goto or simple motor drive?

@spring viper

[spring viper]

Simple motor drive from eq1

Mount eq3-2

[wind spoke]

oh cool

get a dslr or any astrocam

you have a great rig

[elder birch]

You can check by setting up and aiming at a street lamp or inside the house.
If it’s optical vignetting it will be reduced a lot by the brightness. If eyepiece related then there will still be a harsh circular outline

Did a re-edit on my MW

[boreal vessel]

I used. AstroShader

[elder birch]

What was the exposure time, ISO and number of subs?

[boreal vessel]

4sx60 for the one with Cygnus at 3072 (both)

And 1sx50 with the one with trees

[elder birch]

You might be able to push to subs a bit longer for the wide field shot (letting you stop down the ISO). Might help with the noise

[boreal vessel]

I did 4s like you on this one and it’s good

[patent zodiac]

No stacking beacuse im on a vacation, only edit in lightroom mobile

Also i cought one of those perseids meteors

ughhhhh its so cloudy, not going to see the meteor shower peak

i could only see 1 or 2 stars, theres like no patches of empty space

Have you got the original image for this - and would you mind if I have a crack at processing it?

[boreal vessel]

Please stack Magellanic Clouds

[iron bear]

I will stack and merge the foreground.

[boreal vessel]

Foreground?

Background you meant

[iron bear]

When I align and stack the sky, the foreground will blur. Will I have to merge a single frame...

[boreal vessel]

I mean you are focusing on the MC’s may as well only stack those

[iron bear]

I usually turn off the tracking on the Eq to capture the foreground, but on this one I did it all together. Didn't blur as much in the 60s with active tracking

[iron bear]

The intention is to use the whole field with the landscape.

[boreal vessel]

Ok

But I think it would be a good idea to do an extra stack if just the 2 clouds

[iron bear]

I will use the same stack. I will not stack by sequator... I always stack by pixinsight. Then I can do two separate processings from de same stack

[boreal vessel]

Ok

Crop using PIPP btw

[iron bear]

Why? Pipp will compress the raw... After stacking I can just cut the stack without any problems.

[boreal vessel]

Idk PIPP doesn’t compress raw images and video

[iron bear]

By changing the format there is always a quality compression. As much as it is tiff or fit. By pixinght I use the Xisf format which has much better quality

[vague warren]

Bro wants him to do some extra stuff

He has pixinsight so idk why he'd use pipp

Hello guys...I would like to ask something...I currently have a Skywatcher Heritage 130p...can you suggest me a cheap phone adapter ??

[elder birch]

There’s a Celesteon one called “Basic Smartphone Adapter”. I found it a bit fiddly to use but quite effective if you have patience.
Also tried the Celestron NexXY 3-axis, but was too wobbly.

I was recommended the Move Shoot Move smartphone adapter. For me this is the best by far. Rock solid and very easy to use. A little more expensive though.

Guys is there any way to set iso in video mode

Or a app that lets me control the iso?

Hi

These r mine

Hope you guys find them good for phone Astro

[patent zodiac]

Its good but very noisy

[mint wagon]

If you're going to get one, think about the total weight that you'll be putting on top of the focuser, since it's only plastic and a bit weak. The weight of the phone you'll be using + the weight of the adapter.

[fiery rover]

I've thought that too...I've found one light weight adapter but my phone by it self is quite heavy

[prime locust]

Yea that’s what I don’t like

But I’m getting a new setup

Celestron Astro if 130

And svbony sv305 camera

The ring nebula and m13 and the moon I got with 12x60 monocular

I couldn’t bring my main scope with me on my trip to Dominican Republic

That’s why I used it

[patent zodiac]

I was you i would buy Mars-C or ASI224MC. If you only save up a bit it would make a huge difference

[patent zodiac]

And dont get the astromaster 130 they got bad mounts

[prime locust]

I know

[patent zodiac]

Get a skywatcher 130/900 newt

Or a skywatcher 130/600

[prime locust]

I said I’m getting a Astro fi 130/750

[patent zodiac]

I think its on an eq2 mount

[patent zodiac]

Ok, but dont get mad with the mount

[prime locust]

Not astromaster

[patent zodiac]

Yea

Go to

I’m buying it the 25th

I would rather save up for a better cam, but if you use the sv305 correctly it would work fine, i saw some nice results with it

[prime locust]

Yea I’m on a budget

I don’t want to go all out yet

😅

Plus I already have sum filter

I’m going to get better stuff slowly

Send unprocessed tiff

I wanna mess with it

[woven crown]

I've got a celestron NeXY-Z, I find it completely fine to use. Align it over the lens during the day on something like a tree or bird in the distance, then it's ready to use at night time. One important thing I'd say is to make sure the tightening screw is very very tight, otherwise it may slip or very subtly wobble over the course of the evening

[fair trellis]

Wow orion isnt even visible for me (below horizon ofc)

[unborn loom]

Wow you live at the Arctic?

[fair trellis]

Wait hol up does the polaris altitude in degrees show your own altitude?

[chilly vessel]

At the equator

[unborn loom]

Not exactly but yes.

I processed the stacking of this data at the time. But now I don't think it turned out so well. Then I will reprocess

[patent zodiac]

Bro, its awesome

You can see the flame nebula, orion nebula, pleaides...

Its not bad but crispy

[spice gale]

Very nice

[spice gale]

Took this w/ my phone

From the liveview it looks like a star

I will do more exposure time and process.

i can see the whole saturn part now

[edgy talon]

you are one crazy man

i will tell you that right now

[patent zodiac]

DUDE CALM DOWN, HARVARD WANTS YOU

And thats with a phone?!?

The same phone that i have!!!!

XIAOMI NOTE 12 PRO?!?

Its crazy man

[amber dome]

Fr

[iron bear]

No. It is with the standard Xiaomi 12 or Mi12. But the camera sensor is the same, so the result will be similar.

[wild flame]

Bwop

[patent zodiac]

Dude, my phone has post processing or something and it makes my photos worse, i dont know how to turn it off

[iron bear]

Just uses raw mode

[patent zodiac]

For me there is no raw option

In pro mode...

No raw

[iron bear]

Try DeepSkyCamera

[patent zodiac]

I have it but too much hot pixeos

Pixels*

[iron bear]

Funny that here I have very few hotpixels. But I noticed this same difference in the amount of hotpixels from the native app to the deepskycamera on a friend's Galaxy s22

[patent zodiac]

How do you remove hot pixels

I mean tonight im going all out on astro so i might give deepskycamera one more try

[iron bear]

I remove with calibration frames. Dark frames... But my raws already come out with very few hotpixels

Single 60s iso 400 raw. M17 from São Paulo, bortle 9

You can hardly see any hotpixels

[patent zodiac]

Oh yeah

I could give it a try

[iron bear]

With camera the result is already expected. The fun is precisely in taking a photo with the equipment that nobody expects anything

[iron bear]

This one for example, I haven't even processed it yet, I just stacked one of the 4 nights I've already captured, and it's already in that quality.

[spring viper]

What mount has such good guiding?

[iron bear]

No of course not. I'm just commenting that taking pictures with equipment that nobody believes will get good results is more fun than taking pictures with the same equipment that everyone else uses. but anyway I should also be using a dedicated soon.

[iron bear]

[cobalt brook]

Can anyone help me edit this photo? 10 minute exposure photo on my note 20 ultra in bortle 2!!! First time I have ever had color like this!

[valid sandal]

Hey guys. I need some help. Basically i'm going nuts buying and returning huawei phones because they all have loads of stuck and hot pixels in their camera sensor. So it all started when i saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2yws0F7jCk&t=0s . I bought 2 used Huawei p40 pro that i returned. I tested them by taking a 30 sec exposure 800 ISO with the phone in a box, complete darkness and this is what i got

And now i bought a brand new huawei p50 pro, did same test and this is the picture. Now this has way less stuck pixels(red and blue) but a lot of white flakes and these are hot pixels from what i understand. My question is , is this normal for a new phone? How do we deal with these stuck/hot pixels in our photos and timelapse videos? Please if you guys know, tell me. I'm going mad

[cobalt brook]

Any help?

[sick rain]

With more frames they should get averaged out

[amber dome]

Yeah

That's just a quick process without fixing the colour fringing, I can help you create an image like that

[cobalt brook]

How do you get rid of the color fringing ?

[amber dome]

There's a setting on Photoshop and Lightroom about it, in the optics section

[cobalt brook]

Hmm, doesn't seem to do anything though

This is my other shot, it was only about a 3 minute exposure

[patent zodiac]

I would crop it if i were you

[iron bear]

No bearings yet. I duplicated the clutch (to have one on each side, thus avoiding play), changed all the grease, changed all the screws that hold the worm gear.

I have a post in a local group showing the changes. It's in Portuguese, but I think through facebook it translates automatically https://www.facebook.com/groups/1445968775626863/posts/3564803277076725/

[iron bear]

Generic 114/900mm

[iron bear]

No... I control the cell phone separately from the Phd. But deepskycamera Developer should soon release DSC pro which will communicate with phd to do dither automatically.

[patent zodiac]

Dayummm

[spring viper]

Nice

[unborn loom]

I don't think thats color fringing

[amber dome]

Ok

[unborn loom]

@valid sandal are you using raw btw?

I have hot pixels too

But thats not an issue

This is mine, 30secs, iso 800

[valid sandal]

no, i am not using raw. all i want is to be able to take a nice timelapse of the milky way. this new phone might be okay

i'll try and get a timelapse tonight with it and see how it goes

why aren't the white flakey hot pixels an issue ?

[unborn loom]

Because you can't see them

[magic abyss]

ohh that's gonna be so cool

[iron bear]

Most of my photos were taken with this sensor on my old mi9t.

[iron bear]

.

[runic kelp]

the pics i get with my phone are absolutely dog bro

better than nothing i suppose

bit better

i need to figure out how to get the exposure levels right on a shitty iphone 7

[unborn loom]

Nice

[valid sandal]

it looks like it's boiling on the bottom part. but i cant see any stuck pixels or white flakes. looks like the new phone is better

[white kraken]

why not get the cooled touptek 585, a tiny bit more expensive than the uncooled uranus c

[cobalt brook]

Thanks, what causes these color fringing ?

[amber dome]

Cheap lenses, I believe

[valid sandal]

Picture with the huawei p50 pro i just bought. Could i improve this image with some calibration shots? I think that whole halo thing in the middle of the picture is noise from the sensor. How can i do it, i didn't try it before

[patent zodiac]

Probably cheap lens on your phonr

[brave jasper]

what you guys think of my first attempt only using my phone. stacked using sequator.

[obsidian fern]

woah

What phone did you use

[brave jasper]

i used just a samsung galaxy s22 pro mode. 800 iso 20 secs

class 5 bortle too

[obsidian fern]

The corner looks weird

[brave jasper]

49 pics

[obsidian fern]

:0

[brave jasper]

what corner dude?

[obsidian fern]

right upper

I guess your phone moved a bit while capturing?

[brave jasper]

i have no idea whats going on with the corner. gnna go out again in couple days and do it again dont think my phone moved tbh. but we shall see

gnna try capture the centre if i can

[edgy talon]

Say whatr

[white kraken]

?

[edgy talon]

I needed

[white kraken]

you needed what?

[edgy talon]

Youptek

[white kraken]

the 585?

[edgy talon]

Yes

[brave jasper]

@obsidian fern redone it with more darks and more lights seems better to me now what do you think?

[obsidian fern]

actually, the old one looks better imo

[brave jasper]

ok ill try less darks and change some things with settings 😄

[valid sandal]

it's a frame from a timelapse, jpg. could i apply some darks to it somehow?

[brave jasper]

@obsidian fern what u think im gnna keep trying but best i can do right now.

[obsidian fern]

Looks nice

[hot cliff]

Single sub. I need to stack it with darks and 30 other lights. And then hdr on the "castle"

But my phone refuses to post the raws on literally anything (tried both wetransfer and google drive. Both just failed at around 30% lol)

[valid sandal]

when making a timelapse of the milky way with phone should i actually just take lots and lots of 30 sec subs in raw instead of using the timelapse function ?

what did u use for acquisition and stacking?

the best planetary camera on the market unless you wanna spend a bunch of money

and the best budget DSO camera on themarket

[orchid fable]

more personal preference on if you like it or not

for me I love it with a small refractor

[wind spoke]

ye

[orchid fable]

for planetary on big scopes its really good as well

or deep shots of DSO

[wind spoke]

Oh def, I currently have the 224mc for guiding and planetary (sometimes deepsky)

[elder birch]

One I’m working on called AstroShader. It aligns and stacks during capture

[iron bear]

Depending on the focal length this is a problem. But if you like to photograph galaxies, it's a good option.

This one was taken with Asi290mm on my 114/900mm

The field with the 585 would be much bigger even though its sensor is still small

[iron bear]

It was full of walking noise. My friends just let it capture while I took a photo with my cell phone. We didn't even do dark 💀

Woah yup, that's indeed far better- thank you!

I really like how you completely removed the chromatic abberation on the smaller craters and mountains on the sides as well and the detail came out a whole lot more-

More obvious with this example ^ although my shot wasn't completely still anyways so it could've been more sharp right?

check dms

[bleak niche]

why not just extract red channel? remove the CA entirely.

[edgy talon]

It did sum

[iron bear]

This happened because the RGB channels on the edge of the moon were misaligned... So it ends up blurring

You can align by registax or astrosurface

its really good! but if your new to astrophotography like me you should first try taking image of half moon since it creates a 3d effect

[terse smelt]

hey you know sliders have other options than max?? also AI??

[kindred zephyr]

i gotta admit its better than mine

[kindred zephyr]

did he took that image on phone

?

[terse smelt]

ye its phone astrophotography

samsung a73

[kindred zephyr]

damn

experience is above hardware tbh

[terse smelt]

ok image to begin but processing is garish

[kindred zephyr]

whose?

[potent gorge]

why would you do a background extraction? youve got a conbination of foreground and background which a multi scale gradients which screws up the image

and what did you stack in?

[potent gorge]

while DSS has a better stacking algorithm than sequator, for this photo, it would be better to stack in sequator as DSS doesnt stack wel with foreground. its not meant for it, while sequator was pretty much made for it

[terse smelt]

saturn is cruel

help i overdosed on blue

[kindred zephyr]

i did some lite editing for practice, i hope you dont mind

but why is it compressed?

[sick rain]

Background extraction works on my images and that blue color came from the color calibration

[potent gorge]

It doesn't work for photos thag have landscape

It was made to clear gradients when the whole image is the sky

Any suggestions on how to get better photos of Saturn? (Equipment in bio)

[chilly vessel]

try increasing exposure

and are you stacking videos of saturn?

[cobalt brook]

No it was just a photo, I don't have a tracking scope so it would be jumpy to video

Dng?

[chilly vessel]

it's fine if it's wobbly
you can record short videos without much wobble, will be so much better than a single photo

[cobalt brook]

Ok, I'll try video tonight

Question, can my telescope fit one of those camera mount attachments? Meaning the ones that make physical cameras attach to the scope?

[cobalt brook]

Oh, that's just the file that was on my phone...

I believe it is because it's a raw photo

[smoky scaffold]

tf

i’ll try and make it a png later ig

idk why it’s a tif now

[terse smelt]

do you have a barlow to use? seems that the individual pixels are too large to capture much detail at this zoom level

also use raw if available, much better

[cobalt brook]

Check the file I sent earlier, it's raw

[cobalt brook]

I don't, but it is something I'd be interested in eventually, I shoot that photo with my 5mm eye piece instead of using a 10mm or 25mm

It's too far north. I can't take a picture from where I am... But I still intend to do it when I'm on the contryside

[edgy talon]

nice

[amber dome]

Dayum

[edgy talon]

i dont think you guys know how impressive this picture really is, look at the background

[vestal tinsel]

they are from just a random star field I captured with my Iphone

[vestal tinsel]

I do know xD Bro it's a phone like damn

[edgy talon]

His phone is literally an astro-cam

[edgy talon]

no, you dont get it

his phone has an imx sensor...

[patent zodiac]

What phone do you have

[iron bear]

I can now take a much better picture than this one. All I need is time and clear nights in contryside... With a frame of 60s on my new mi12 it would have caught all the background IFN

I just program the amount of frames, exposure time and iso and let the phone take a picture with DSC.... At this time i used the astrocam. But now im using DeppSkycamera

[iron bear]

I found a frame that I had made in 2022. It's only 12s iso 1600

[chilly vessel]

Dang bro you're a great phone imager

[iron bear]

i only do darks.

flats doesnt work well with eyepiece.

[unborn loom]

100%

[valid sandal]

hey guys, i have a skywatcher heritage 150p telescope. For shooting the planets with a phone do you think a high power eyepiece, like 3 mm, is better than a 10mm EP with a 3x barlow?

[unborn loom]

No

[edgy talon]

dust cap on, same exposure

[valid sandal]

was that to my question? why no?

[unborn loom]

Yes

The magnification is gonna be almost the same

[valid sandal]

well yes but i am thinking it's less glass elements so less aberrations. and if it's a high quality EP maybe the fov is wider. idk, i am new at this

[unborn loom]

You barely get any abberation from eyepieces afaik, thats what i remember what someone said to me, i think.

I don't know about the FOV, which is better wider or narrower

Maybe the 3mm is a better choice

I think an 80€ one should be good enough

20mm eye relief

[plush palm]

From today lol

[dark lance]

I got a question, there’s gonna be an Iss moon transit near my house and I’m wondering if i would be able to capture it with an iPhone and a 102mm refractor?

[unborn loom]

Just a phone no

[dark lance]

I’ve tried doing live pictures and I’ve had pretty good luck with things like birds, I just don’t know if I’d be able to see the ISS

[unborn loom]

I mean you can try, doesn't hurt right. I think you'll get atleast something

I haven't had any experience but as far as i know it's not THAT small

[dark lance]

It’s a .59 second transit so I don’t know how many frames I would see it for

[smoky scaffold]

wasnt even trying to get a plane, but pretty cool

[valid sandal]

i'm still waiting to catch my first plane lunar transit. i mean i saw multiple but was not recording

[magic abyss]

this is really cool

[smoky scaffold]

ikr, it’s cut off in the video but i had a very verbal reaction

[magic abyss]

i would imagine lmao

[terse smelt]

its about the size of venus at max bit larger

[unborn loom]

Huuuuuuh

[mint wagon]

What you said about less glass is techinically true but you're most likely not going to notice any difference whatsoever, but still, a 3mm eyepiece is of really low focal length and is probably not going to get used that often, just adding a 3x barlow to your collection is going to be much better since you're essentially doubling your eyepiece collection + it's more handy than the 3mm in most occasions, and since they serve about the same magnification anyway, I suggest you get an extra barlow instead of an extra eyepiece.

[unborn loom]

That is true aswell

[valid sandal]

i do have a 3x barlow but i find it hard to use because it extends out of the already shoddy helical focuser quite a bit, and i have to unscrew the focuser a lot to reach focus, to the point it hangs on to a couple of threads. and then i clamp the big nexyz adapter to the whole thing. it is what it is i guess, i'm trying to do astrophotography with a phone through a visual telescope

[mint wagon]

Eeeh yeah I'm not sure if the Nex YZ performs well even by itself on a focuser such as the Heritage 150p's helical one.. a 3mm ep is not such a bad idea then I guess.. but will you be able to find a good quality one at a reasonable price.. or even find one at all?

[pallid vault]

I‘m so grateful to not image with a phone anymore🙏🙏🙏

[vestal tinsel]

well guess who got ina on an phone

[lone mica]

Is that even ina

[vestal tinsel]

I hope so. It's the right location

[lone mica]

Send uncropped image

[vestal tinsel]

sure

[timber vector]

anyone know what i can do to get the most out of my iphone13 standard edition not the max or anything only has 3x zoom can get 6x with an app but anyone know if there are any apps where i can process maybe try image stacking just anything i can use to get better images with it

or any mods i can put on my phone physically like a lens or something idk im new to this

[edgy talon]

cooking rn

[edgy talon]

do widefeild astro

[unborn loom]

You can use binoculars

Which is what i did

[edgy talon]

thats hard

[unborn loom]

Wasnt for me

Quite interesting

[elder birch]

I’m working on an iPhone app called AstroShader that does live stacking. e.g. aligns and stacks the images giving you a single final image.

It’s available in public beta on the App Store and I’m still rolling out changes as feedback/ideas/bugs get reported

[smoky scaffold]

that’s sounds awesome!

[elder birch]

Still under development so a little glitchy, but getting there. It’s free too

[smoky scaffold]

im going to try it out tonight

[dark lance]

That’s really cool, I’m gonna try it out tonight if the clouds clear up

[neon crypt]

I've lost count of how long I've been waiting to get a shot like this, and you get it by accident

[smoky scaffold]

i’m realizing how lucky i got now

[neon crypt]

On video too, while looking in the perfect area

It's not one in a million, but it's pretty damn lucky

[dark lance]

Most of the time I just see birds fly in front, but a plane is something else

It’s on a whole new level

[smoky scaffold]

i live like three towns away from a small airport

[timber vector]

the settings are a bit confusing any guidance on them

[timber vector]

ive never heard of this is it on pc or phone

or is it like a technique

[neon crypt]

It's taking a wide shot of the sky
