Phone Astrophotography

[grizzled lance]

Mw in b4-5 slightly edited in camera software
Honor 90
Unfortunately in jpeg 🥲
4000 Iso 25s

Mb 4000 Iso is a bit too much

[distant epoch]

Seeing was great today

Definitely one of my best moon photos, and probably my best cresent moon photo

[dusk crow]

The Sun today

[ivory thunder]

attempts were made but there was an atmosphere

[dusk crow]

M51 and m101 with Celestrone Skymaster 7x50 Pro Ed 5min exposure and 10 min exposure

[rain silo]

that’s so cool

[dusk crow]

Yeah but Small

[rain silo]

true but it looks really cool

it’s a good picture man

[dusk crow]

It’s actually first time trying binoculars

[faint cypress]

boom

[proven gull]

boom

[formal notch]

Guys, i am at b4 for this month with absolutely no studies

The only thing is unpridictable rainfall

[faint cypress]

I’m sure you can find at least one clear night there dw

Is it like an island or something? I went to Kauai on vacation and tried to capture omega centauri and the jewel box but the area was COVERED by clouds despite the weather app saying it would be clear

[formal notch]

Its close to costal area

Weather app says fog is the issue, is it really an issue, clear rn

[formal notch]

Ill try again tonight

[dusk crow]

Sun with 7x50 bino

[ivory thunder]

this is giving me an idea

tape eclipse glasses to phone
bino on that

hehehehhehe

[dusk crow]

Not the phone bino get the Solar filter

[ivory thunder]

solar filter is expense
already have eclipse glasses

[dusk crow]

But the glasses are to Small

[ivory thunder]

they're big enough to fit over my phone

[dusk crow]

Not the Phone cover the Bino lens

It’s risky

[ivory thunder]

they're just big enough to fit over the bino lens too

[dusk crow]

The Solar filter could Burn out because of the High Sun Beam

I am doing like this

[ivory thunder]

I was gonna do it
solar glasses on end of bino
phone on the eyepiece bit

[dusk crow]

Ok better 😅

[ivory thunder]

like this

[dusk crow]

But it’s also risky with my method I need to hold the filter. If I drop it’s bad

[ivory thunder]

I have to hold everything up and it's also windy as hell rn so ye

oh would you look at that it just started raining

[dusk crow]

Normal also here in Germany Rain and sunshine

[ivory thunder]

got a lot of storms speeding over UK rn

kinda annoying bc there's so many

it's like rain for a minute sun for a minute

[dusk crow]

Oh I heard of that 😅

[ivory thunder]

part of me wants one to throw down a tornado

[dusk crow]

I never saw a Tornado in my entire live

[ivory thunder]

me neither

always wanted to see one

but UK only gets like 30 a year

mostly off squall lines iirc

[dusk crow]

I also like to see but also dangerous

[ivory thunder]

yea

[balmy ravine]

Yesterday

[ivory thunder]

so i tried it and the biggest problem was i could not line up my phone and the bino no matter how hard i tried

to make it worse my phone was dying so the screen dimmed so much i couldnt see anything on it

and for the second i managed to line it up my hand cramped

[zealous scaffold]

i would advise against putting eclipse glasses onto the end of your binos to look thru

[solar nymph]

don't use eclipse glasses on your binos

only full aperture filters are safe

[ivory thunder]

ah

[dreamy pebble]

Through smoke or just lots of atmosphere?

[balmy ravine]

With just my phone lol

[proud ridge]

@prisma raft im pretty sure it is brottle 5 ...

my sky...

i think its 5 ...

@ivory thunder ... your thoughts?

is it five or more

[spice gale]

At nighte the sky is more black or a bit more blue

[ivory thunder]

I'd say this is around 5 yea

[wild flame]

oh, to be fortunate enough to have below bortle 8 skies...

[balmy ravine]

Did I just see a bright meteor?????? Saw a green light moving quickly across the sky in the reflection off a window and then disappearing quickly

[zealous scaffold]

definitely an alien

[sand furnace]

U in the southern hemisphere? I saw a video of someone recording it w aurora australis

[balmy ravine]

Nope, birmingham

Might have been a plane at low altitude

[balmy ravine]

It is factually a UFO

[grizzled lance]

Check on news once i saw one a bright one during sunset and ir went on news like 1 week later

[dusk crow]

What the hell is this new Sever logo?

[formal notch]

dont bring it to this thread plz

[potent gorge]

make sure to express your opinion in #1369694419963613295 message

[dusk crow]

I didn’t see it thanks

[distant epoch]

Which one is your guys' favorite

[balmy ravine]

Whats the difference? Apart from exposure and white balance?

[distant epoch]

2 of the photos are softer

[gusty zodiac]

no. 2

[dusk crow]

The Moon with my 7x50 bino

[distant epoch]

I also made a less stylized and artistic one mainly for detail

[dusk crow]

Very Sharp and Good Quality. Keep going

[ivory thunder]

lmao it looks nearly exactly like with my s20 ultra

[distant epoch]

Thanks

Crazy Lowligh pollution ist Cheat code

[coral cedar]

Looks so good wow

[frank jungle]

Single 25 second test shot of M65 and M66 through my Telescope

[dusk crow]

You photographed it with a IPhone I can tell this

[proven sandal]

I think we all know that

[dusk crow]

Is this IPhone 12?

[proven sandal]

Yes

[dusk crow]

How I Know😂😭

[proven sandal]

all those photos are and I got a iPhone 13 Pro Max

[proven sandal]

lol

[dusk crow]

But Good for singen 30s low lightpolution is carrying

[grizzled lance]

Moon like few months ago

[lean magnet]

Through a cloud?

[pastel nexus]

Either that or through dew

[proven gull]

this should be in roast my image

[fleet bramble]

Anything good and bright from michigan this summer?

[ivory thunder]

[balmy ravine]

Yes

[dreamy pebble]

There's this one G2V star which is at magnitude –26.7

[ivory thunder]

i heard its regularly blocked by giant clouds of water vapor though

[dusk crow]

M57, 22min Total 1x1329 ISO 32000. Stacked in Deepsky Stacker, Progress in Siril.
Condition bad: it was nearly full moon in Bortle 6

[faint cypress]

Andromeda Galaxy (M31)
Bortle 6
74 5 second exposures

Wasn’t able to get more integration time as I was shooting through trees 😭

[dusk crow]

Andromeda galaxy Really low on horizon right now, I will wait until August

[faint cypress]

I am expecting better results from January though, focus is probably my biggest issue

[faint cypress]

Good idea

[vague shard]

Southern hemisphere is so lucky in terms of night sky, clean pics my friend ,exif ?

[vague shard]

I'm still trying to merge this part with main core for my panorama , failure everytime , tried everything and now its cloudy

[bleak niche]

iPhone 16 pro, 3200iso, a mix between 10 and 30s exposures.

[dusk crow]

Bro you need to try AstroShader app

Longer exposure and Clearer and Save in Real RAW format

[bleak niche]

Actually haven’t tried it since I got my new phone.

[dusk crow]

You have to try. You should get amazing results

[bleak niche]

Yeah I will. It was very good last time I tried it.

[dusk crow]

[blissful grotto]

hey have anyone ben taking photos of the moon for the past 4 or just the last 2 days ? I've been trying to make a vid with the all of the moon phases but the weather isn't helping

[thorny bobcat]

M22 30x16s 8 minutes of exposure on pixel 8 pro. limiting magnitude 15-16ish.

[ivory thunder]

just took a few now

[blissful grotto]

cool thank you very much

[ivory thunder]

no prob

[balmy ravine]

Jpeg, raw, raw with white balance adjustment

[thorny bobcat]

was looking through the background and found two 2.6 Billion light year distant galaxies and very tentatively a 2.9 Gyr distant galaxy.

[thorny bobcat]

SDSS J095324.38+693648.7 - 2.938 Gyr realized i forgot to put the name

[balmy ravine]

What is that?

[blissful grotto]

not all pictures are that good but i tried my best

[dreamy pebble]

That big fat rock in the sky that produces a ton of light pollution

[ivory thunder]

so does the big fat ball of fire

it produces so much light pollution that it changes the colour of the sky when it's up, and can even tint it when just below the horizon

[zealous edge]

wow that's crazy, I should try looking for this thing

could potentially have some scientific significance

[balmy ravine]

I've heard it causes the aurora

[robust storm]

Had a go with the iPhone 16 lwk kinda impressed not insane obviously but alr, shot threw 10 inch dob

[zealous edge]

Are these stacked at all? Or is it just pressing your phone on the eyepiece and taking a single exposure?

[robust storm]

there raw not stacked or edited

[zealous edge]

Wow

What bortle was this in?

[robust storm]

[zealous edge]

Ah ok. That would certainly do it

[ivory thunder]

[dusk crow]

Mars Today. 114/500 2x Barlow and 3x Barlow plus a 6mm eyepiece = 500x Magnification

[gusty zodiac]

kid named magnification limit:

[pastel nexus]

Max useful magnification on your telescope is around 180x on average seeing. Going above that just blurs the image more rather than making it any better

[zealous edge]

Maximum useful magnification, with absolute perfect seeing conditions at high altitude would be about 200x, maybe 225 if you're really feeling lucky and want to push it to the absolute maximum theoretical limit, but even still I would not go above 150x with a telescope of that aperture

I should mention, maximum useful magnification increases with aperture, but even in absolute perfect conditions and seeing, you generally don't/won't need anything higher than 350 ~ 500 power to have fun. Unless you're doing insane planetary imaging, and need several thousand times magnification and your telescope mirror is bigger than a dinner plate

Lower magnification is generally better for visual, you can push it a little on the planets but anything higher than 50 ~ 100 power isn't usually needed

Mars is not an ideal target for a telescope like yours, unfortunately.

Especially now that it's left opposition

[potent gorge]

jesus christ you cant be stacking barlows on top of each other

how tf were you able to to even find mars

bro is shooting at f/26.32

[dusk crow]

Guys Chill I know 😅 I just having fun. My Normal setup is just 6mm and 2x Barlow wich is only 166x

[grizzled lance]

How the hell did you imahe that lmao with a f/5 tge exit pupil would be in its nano metre still impressive how you aligned your phone

[dusk crow]

Bro I shot mars 10min after sun set

I just found him with low magnification than switch eyepieces

Mars is so small, Even 500x

[ivory thunder]

[faint cypress]

I love Albireo so much

[dusk crow]

Where Are you bro💀
It’s 59* at night?

[balmy ravine]

Fahrenheit???

[ivory thunder]

farenheit:

[gusty zodiac]

kid named Rankine:

[grizzled lance]

M106 is lil blurry when zoomed is this by lack of dithering?

[proven gull]

focal length, pixel size etc

[cursive halo]

dithering only affects noise pattern

other issues come from other things

[patent zodiac]

Probably focus, the camera used...

[grizzled lance]

I have eq3-2 motorised so maybe dithering or just mount itself

I used honor 90 its decent for ap

[wind spoke]

well well well...

[patent zodiac]

Looks like you have triangle stars to, so probably bad polar alignnent, out of focus, bad tracking and a bad mix between camera and scope. Not bad for such gear

[grizzled lance]

Lmao calm down only 30min data and through some cloud

[somber lantern]

I thought triangular stars were caused by the mirror being too tight

Pinched optics

[grizzled lance]

Probably collimation

I imaged this few months ago I'll try again with another target

I just got a new mount it's much much better than my current

[formal notch]

It is, i think its also due to not keeping the scope outside defore imaging too

[lean magnet]

cloud

[dreamy pebble]

parselenic circle

[balmy ravine]

Wipe your camera with a cloth or your shirt, the lines are caused by skin oil on the camera

[dreamy pebble]

I don't know if it was the extreme humidity but everything I did to wipe that camera made it worse lol

[dusk crow]

☀️🦅🔭

[balmy ravine]

Sometimes happens to me when your clothes are already oily

[balmy ravine]

Looks like mine lol

[dreamy pebble]

Oh, I was covered in bug spray, that probably explains it

[ivory thunder]

mmm selenium

[magic gale]

where are u from?

my name is Yasir too

[dusk crow]

I am from Turkey, but grown up in Germany

[spice gale]

Reminds me of

[magic gale]

i'm from turkey too

[balmy ravine]

I'm staying in bortle 2 this weekend

But the midsummer sunlight will probably make it impossible to see anything

[vague shard]

Dk why there is flare on those stars ,but tried to go for cygnus area before everything went cloudy
Thanks hugo for blurx

[sand furnace]

Maybe oily/dirty phone lens?

[spice gale]

Probably the phone lens is dirty, and only the brighter stars are affected

[formal notch]

Free diffraction spikes

[plush palm]

Plane flying under the moon, It was early in the morning so I just took out my phone and shoot

[rain silo]

i saw a plane fly under the moon just like that too

at like 12

[plush palm]

It was 9:45(am) for me

[rain silo]

ohh

[balmy ravine]

bortle 2

[spice gale]

What phone?

[balmy ravine]

Samsung galaxy s23 ultra

[spice gale]

Pretty noce innit, stars are really sharp too

[cunning chasm]

I love it when this happens, suddenly get a feeling for the scale of things

[balmy ravine]

I used manual focus

[spice gale]

Nice

[balmy ravine]

North America nebula?

[grizzled lance]

Cygnus region prolly yeah

[balmy ravine]

About what it looked like with my eye

More like this

[grizzled lance]

you sure this is b2?

This is in b5-6 for reference b2 would be crazy difference

Sadly in jpeg

[proven gull]

Well thats either not bortle 2 or there were clouds, cuz this is BORTLE 7 and its somehow better than your “bortle 2”

Heres a bortle 2 i went to and with your eyes you could see basically the same thing

[grizzled lance]

Maybe not fully dark enough mw didnt show enough structure but still

As in the 'b2' pic

[proven gull]

Yeah I was shooting thru clouds and diffuse aurora but his b2 is definitely not evem close

[grizzled lance]

Ohh i didnt realise i was wondering why it was so purple lmao

Nice pic

[thorny bobcat]

V462 Lupi Nova 16x16s without a telescope at only 7 degrees above the horizon

[balmy ravine]

It is midsummer so it never gets fully dark

[balmy ravine]

Also that image was downgraded to show what it looked like with my eye

[balmy ravine]

Original image

[balmy ravine]

Maybe clear tonight

Might get a timelapse

[balmy ravine]

Short one bc of clouds

Way too much sunlight even after midnight

[dim breach]

No processing bortle 3

M31 after months its relatively high in the sky no processing

[bronze jackal]

This is very similar to what the milky way looks like from my house bortle 5 albeit with more stars

[balmy ravine]

I'm too far north, too much sunlight

[spice gale]

B4 30 sec iphone 15 pro

Not edited

[fleet bramble]

Anyone know how to remove this bright center spot from photos?

It's not the sky, just something my phone does on astrophoto mode

Tried editing and basically ended up just clipping everything

[dense grove]

30 seconds B2 Navajo lake Colorado

[spice gale]

Lemme try

[fleet bramble]

Damn that looks better, what did you do?

[spice gale]

Played with highlights , contrast exposure and clarity

On lightroom

[grizzled lance]

Still impressive eveb at midnight sunlight its same for me aseell lmao

[dusk crow]

Same from Germany, it’s never really dark here

[fading bobcat]

night one

The Eagle Nebula (M16)
This was an attempt to push myself and to test out my new phone (samsung s23 ultra). After an hour of issues, I had set up and only got about 25 minutes of data before calling it a night. I want to hopefully get out tonight again to gather more data so overall integration is better, and the details become more appearant.

[grizzled lance]

What bortle??

[balmy ravine]

Flat frames

[fading bobcat]

Bortle 4

[fleet bramble]

which lens?

[fading bobcat]

Svbony 32mm eyepiece on an svbony 48p 90mm

Should've put my specs on the original message.

[spice gale]

Looks really flat

An issue i have os my “flat field” eyepiece makes every image a nightmare

[fading bobcat]

Could you elaborate some please?

[dusk crow]

I also did have a Flatfield eyepiece, it was horrible bad, even it cost 100€ I couldn’t get a sharp focus and Coma at the entire field of view

[spice gale]

Exactly

Just look ag the stars

[fading bobcat]

Night Two

Alright, second night out. Not so bad right? Well not necessarily. I had issues for over 30 minutes where my mount wouldnt goto the Eagle Nebula and it actually be there (however it worked fine for other targets, such as the dumbell nebula I snagged a photo of).

That being said, I did manage to eventually find it and got over an hour of data, putting my total integration to 80 minutes, which is by far the most I've ever had.

Since I didnt last time, I'll include equipment here:

• svbony 48p 90mm
• Svbony 32mm eyepiece and svbony uv/ir filter
• SWSA GTI
• Samsung s23 Ultra on pro mode
  -Celesteon nexyz adapter

The pillars of creation is even visible, which is what I wanted the most out of this.

Anywas, its 4am, time to catch some Zz's

The closest B3 to me on land is a 5 HOUR drive 😭

[lean magnet]

Even worse for me😼

[desert talon]

Actually?

How far for you is it?

[dusk crow]

And I need 8h for b2

[spice gale]

Not to brag but i got b3 at 1h and 30 min

[spare ravine]

I got b3 in by backyard

if you could try idk like shut the light from the house if you cant then try to go in an other zone or try to cover the light with a cloth

in rest good job

[balmy ravine]

That's not light from the ground, it's sunlight (it's never dark in the uk in midsummer)

I could get better photos with my drone but idk if it's going to be too cloudy

[balmy ravine]

Where is that? Uk?

[ivory thunder]

yep

[balmy ravine]

I got images with north America nebula and lagoon nebula colours

[grizzled lance]

I thought this was clouds appreciation form

Realme 9 and I just sped up each frame in the capcut to 0.1 second lmao

74 frames I think

[spice gale]

Oh ok

Really nice results

[ivory thunder]

that's a very big star in the bottom left

new biggest star confirmed?

[lean magnet]

its contact binary stars

theres two

[grizzled lance]

Guys ima real cook phone ap just wait

[balmy ravine]

I use an autoclicker and photo mode for mine

Better to do jpeg if not stacking, saves storage space and timing is more consistent

[grizzled lance]

Literally same workd best for intervolemeter

[spice gale]

Ok thanks

[dim breach]

this is nice for a phone

with the trees

etc

good job

[nimble harness]

Preciate it

[thorny bobcat]

The built in Astro mode turned out way better than I was expecting (eagle, m4 ,trifid, and Andromeda)

[balmy ravine]

What diameter, exposure time, phone and app? Is this tracked?

[potent gorge]

Milkyway at 1am with my phone

[thorny bobcat]

130mm, 4+ minutes(it's automatic), pixel 8 pro, the default camera app, yes it is tracked

[nimble harness]

This is actually insane

[ivory thunder]

very half Mon 🌓

[fading bobcat]

Can I ask what phone? That eagle nebula is marvelous

[fading bobcat]

Oh nvm found it

But your 4 minutes compared to my 1.5 hours (s23 ultra) is surprising

[fading bobcat]

Dumbell nebula from using the astrophotography mode on my phone, it took 12 minutes to do then I touched it up a little in light room

I was able to even get a very very faint eastern veil nebula

Forecast and satellite were all lying to me, giving me false hopes of clear skies, and tonight's eagle nebula data was not usable. Will shoot for tommorow!

[lean magnet]

your 1.5 hours has way more dust

just needs better processing

[fading bobcat]

My processings pretty buns

Might share my original stack here

[proven gull]

Top 5 phone ap user

this is insane

[patent zodiac]

Share it

[fading bobcat]

@patent zodiac

[patent zodiac]

Imma do it ASAP

[fading bobcat]

Sounds good, thanks!

[patent zodiac]

Whats the scope ur using

[pastel nexus]

And camera

[patent zodiac]

He uses S23 ultra as much as i remember

[fading bobcat]

Svbony 48p 90mm, with a 32mm eyepiece, then yes, it is a s23 ultra

[pastel nexus]

Dang

[patent zodiac]

Aight im currently busy but imma start proccesing it in about 10-15 mins

[fading bobcat]

No rush!

[patent zodiac]

Rush? F1 movie reference

[patent zodiac]

not much that i could do but you got nice signal in there just not the right optics

[fading bobcat]

I imagine its just cause its eyepiece astrophotography atm

[patent zodiac]

There is a lot of coma on the corners and the stars are bloated so i would say that its the eyepiece or scopes issue. Try asking @iron bear for any tips on what gear to buy for phone AP

[fading bobcat]

Yeah I suppose that makes some more sense. There's lots of variables im not prestige at, like eyepiece alignment with phone, focus, etc.

But I appreciate the go and advice!

[patent zodiac]

Yeah, a key factor would be the phone adapter, if its not properly aligned which would make sense for the streaking out of focus stars then i would suggets to buy a sturdier adapter and align the eyepicece properly

[fading bobcat]

I use the celestron Nexyz, pretty good, im just pretty buns at alignment

[patent zodiac]

ahh then its ok. Still nice data you got there

[grizzled lance]

Very good phone ap mb best ive seen ngl

Maybe some ca and take few dark/flats but overall looks real good

[fading bobcat]

I use darks, haven't tried much of flats

[fading bobcat]

Love this like actually

[wind spoke]

Hi

I took this with my phone and some post processing. Do you like it?

I used a 10 mm eyepiece, 130 mm aperture and 650 mm focal lnenght (no barlow used)

Lol yea it happens, i see you still have those good skills

But mostly its processing skills right?

[halcyon rune]

Anyone here got some crazy mw processing skills? I wanna see how good can my image get

[coral cedar]

Yeahhhhh its true

And you need like same frame since eyepiece had distortion

[spice gale]

Cuz i got like 18 raw images of the moon and 8 brighter raw images and i wanted to stack them but idk if the usual way is going to make it look as good as yours

[coral cedar]

So you wanna keep frame centered

[spice gale]

Like no re-centering

[coral cedar]

Need like centered all the time

[spice gale]

Oh

I mean i dont think the moon came too close to the eyepiece

Here are the first and the last images

Yea barely even moved

[spice gale]

What am i looking at?

[coral cedar]

Yeah it moved, when u stack it, u have like stacks artifact

[spice gale]

Oooh fr?

[coral cedar]

This is like example of bad frame

[spice gale]

They look totally normal

[coral cedar]

One is centered, but one is bottom, its.. indeed work, but eyepiece has distortion, so what u wanna do, just maintain thr position as close as possible like the first frame, so when you want to stack it, it has less stacks artifact

[spice gale]

Oh ok

[coral cedar]

But if you dont want to stack its okay, just directly make a composite

[spice gale]

Omg i hate how i dont have electricity, its so hot the power gave up idk

[spice gale]

I would stack if i had battery on laptop

[coral cedar]

I see

[spice gale]

If i WeTransfer it will you be able to stack it for me?

[coral cedar]

Suree

[spice gale]

Yay thx

I included those 8 bright pucs too idk if you can do smr with them

https://we.tl/t-mcam3F1D6l here

[coral cedar]

i made a hdr moon with your data in here @spice gale

[spice gale]

This cant be mine

Oh wow you did such a great job

Its png right?

[coral cedar]

yeahh i have the stacked one

[coral cedar]

yes it is

1 thing to notice when shooting, i notice some motion blur when shooting, in 18 images i only took 5

[spice gale]

Oh wow ok

[coral cedar]

i thing ur using shutter speed too low

[spice gale]

It was a bad atmosphere i remember

Thats why i took so many

[coral cedar]

its okay, for the mineral moon, color are nice, but it has lesser data so it doesnt really that pop out

[spice gale]

Yea

[coral cedar]

wait lemme send the raw stacked

[spice gale]

Next time ill take 50 maybe

[coral cedar]

i took like 200 minimum lmao

[spice gale]

Oh wow

Idk with iphone its pretty hard

The pro mode on android was so much better

[spice gale]

Amd you turned this into that

Magician

[coral cedar]

heres your file

[coral cedar]

haha its just some edit

[spice gale]

Thank you so much

I need you on my side

Can i ask you sun in dm

[coral cedar]

umm i havent processed a sun

but ill figure it out

sure

[versed jetty]

WOAH

[proven gull]

How yall do tia

tis

my moon orange

[somber lantern]

Done one once, I think you just need the perfect white balance

[halcyon rune]

My moon isnt

[ivory thunder]

dude same

[thorny bobcat]

Hercules Galaxy cluster (abell 2151) 95x16s 25m 20s. the bortle 2 vs 6 really really made a difference. also its focused much better

[grizzled lance]

Damnnn

Reallu noticeable difference

[stable sundial]

awesome but fyi the eastern veil is one of the brightest nebula you could ever hope for my dude

[stable sundial]

but like where is the cluster

[fading bobcat]

So are you saying it'd be brighter than that?

[stable sundial]

my dude I got this in 2 hours of the even dimmer western veil

it would be wayyyyyy brighter

[fading bobcat]

Idk, it was just 12 minutes using samsungs astrophoto mode.

[stable sundial]

oh well thats why lmao

in that case its kinda decent

[fading bobcat]

I was just surprised I got it even slightly with no filters for it

[stable sundial]

dang what bortle again?

[fading bobcat]

Outside of the typical uv/ir

[fading bobcat]

4

[stable sundial]

thats pretty good im in a b 8.5

[thorny bobcat]

Sorry I guess it wasn't as apparent as on my computer. Here's it cropped and adjusted

[stable sundial]

that aint a cluster this is where is it in ur pic

[thorny bobcat]

The other Hercules cluster https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_Cluster

[stable sundial]

oh shit my bad

congrats that thing is a lot harder to get

[thorny bobcat]

Yea this one barely shows up when searching and usually gives the star cluster

[stable sundial]

if u throw hercules galaxy cluster in there it should come up

[thorny bobcat]

Yea I should edit the original

[fading bobcat]

Yeah I couldn't imagine doing anything well with my stuff in a 8.5. Very blessed with my small town

[stable sundial]

come to the biggest little city in the world and suck it

atleast i have a b2 40 mins away

[fading bobcat]

Yeah no thanks

I enjoy my skies when I can

Id rather have a month of clouds than image one night in a b8

[stable sundial]

thats kinda not true

[fading bobcat]

I couldn't imagine how some of the bigger people in this hobby go back to big city lights after being in dark sites

[stable sundial]

b8 isnt impossible

theres still plenty to do out here

[fading bobcat]

Well of course its a little exaggerated, but (little story time here) there was a town-wide power outage and it made seeing so much more dazzling than normal

[stable sundial]

i got this thingy in like 7 hours i think

[fading bobcat]

Maybe I'll try it once in the distant future to get a sense of some people's sufferings

[stable sundial]

I went to a b1 a couple weeks ago and trust me I know what some of the darkest skies look like

nowhereville california

trust me I know

the only hotel in that area was called the last resort

[fading bobcat]

Only if it happened during milky way season 😔

[stable sundial]

it sure did

[fading bobcat]

Imaging would've went crazy

[fading bobcat]

Oh I was referencing to mine, but that's really cool for yours

I'll get my photo of it one day!

[stable sundial]

ah

[plush palm]

Celestron astromaster 130eq and realme 9

[sand furnace]

This is probably the sharpest lunar image I've seen from a phone + eyepiece

[coral cedar]

Veryy sharp

[somber lantern]

Im never shooting using something that isn't the normal phone camera ever again

[somber lantern]

And some older data I never used for a reason

[balmy ravine]

You have a good chance of catching the blue lake

[plush palm]

Probably not, blue like is microscopical, even when astrobiscuit tired it he struggled (with like WAY bigger telescope)

[stable sundial]

dude do u know how cool that would look if u just cropped some out

[stable sundial]

no tf he does not

[stable sundial]

like it almost looks like u didnt take it with a phone

[spice gale]

@coral cedar i just got some more lunar and tried to use your advices

Ill send you a we transfer link and you tell me how i did

If you want ofc

[coral cedar]

suree

yeah its alright

[dusk crow]

Close up 166x

[spice gale]

Does it help if they are raw?

Besides being much bigger files, and could sadly only upload half of them in wetransfer because it was much over the limit

https://we.tl/t-geuCKYXo3Z

Here it is tho

[spice gale]

So try and focus it better, use the main camera on 1x, and try not to put buildings or structures in the pic as it will create those black lines around it

[raw parrot]

thats the main camera and its on 1x, theres nothing around my camera and its at the best focus it can achieve 🥲

i have no idea whats wrong with it

[spice gale]

Hmm

Tbh it looks to me like the focus isnt the best and the camera has an eyefish effect, maybe its dirty idk

[raw parrot]

it probably is i think i forgot to clean it ngl but whats with the bluriness with the stars at the side?

but in the center theyre fine at the sides theyre sliding right a bit

[bronze jackal]

Managed to shoot a sun spot by holding a polarising filter up to my phones camera (s22 ultra 10x lens)

[formal notch]

i need help

my data with phone is super bad

how do i stack it

'bad' in the sense super noisy

[proven gull]

Thts due to optical quality

Nothing you can do about it

[spice gale]

You need to install siril on your pc and search for tutorials on youtube, thats how i learned

[formal notch]

Ik siril, the data is soo bad not even that can stack it

Ill try something else

[spice gale]

Hmm

Ik i had the same problem

That not even others that have experience couldnt stack it

[formal notch]

Ive tried astrosurface, it prooves ro be the best

[spice gale]

So either you throw the data in the bin or try really hard and maybe someone can somehow do it

[spice gale]

Dss?

[formal notch]

Nope, requires a lot of good stars

[spice gale]

Mm

Tbh with phone ap dtars are the biggest problem

[formal notch]

Yeah, the issue with me is the max exposure my phone allows(0.33 sec)

[spice gale]

Oh right…

[formal notch]

Ill lower the iso and retry

[spice gale]

Uhm at least you dont get startrails

[formal notch]

Lol

[spice gale]

Yea lower it, and go for a lot more data

To have a decent pic

[formal notch]

Yeah, ill retry with different iso's

[spice gale]

Ok

Good luck then

[formal notch]

Good luck to u too

[spice gale]

Thanks

[grizzled lance]

Try dss and take dark frames

My frames were bit noisy but the outcome was nice

[coral cedar]

Hey Dominic sorry for late replying haha

I'm busy lately, I'll stack it for you

Lemme download

[spice gale]

Alright sure

I shot again yesterday in jpeg and got twice as much data, and i think it will look better at the end too

Ill send the link to that here

[coral cedar]

Okay

[spice gale]

When youre free lmk

[coral cedar]

I'm free tommorow

[spice gale]

Perfect

[somber lantern]

Revisited, I think I did worse this time 😭

This one was a huge improvement tho

[formal notch]

guys does anyone know where did the deepskycamera phone database website go? i cant find it anywhere on the net

[jade monolith]

Night sky over Neenah, WI

[formal notch]

Nvm found it

[coral cedar]

@spice gale

[spice gale]

My data right?

Absolute legend

[coral cedar]

yes

[spice gale]

Mind if i send you another one

I have twice the data

[coral cedar]

sure

[spice gale]

Jpeg

[coral cedar]

wait what

jpeg?

[spice gale]

No

Its just not raw

Heig or smt

[coral cedar]

ohh

its fine

[spice gale]

Like the first tine

[coral cedar]

still counts as raw

[spice gale]

Oh rly

[coral cedar]

actually 50 percent lmao

its compressed the file

[spice gale]

https://we.tl/t-z8RsJflBy7

Perfwct

[coral cedar]

alright

[spice gale]

Because i got 50% more data

[coral cedar]

oh yeah about the over exposure one, i just need 1 sample of it

[spice gale]

Oh fr?

[coral cedar]

yeah

[spice gale]

I did 9

[coral cedar]

no need to send more than 1

ahh its fine

[spice gale]

But lesson learned

[coral cedar]

yeahh

[spice gale]

@coral cedar might get clear tonight again, and si ce its the 4th consecutive night I tought I could do a phase tomelapse

How the moon changes phases

[coral cedar]

yes lets goo nice one

[sand furnace]

What blending mode do you use for full moon glow like that? I can't seem to make it glow in the same manner as I do with other phases 👀

[spice gale]

So the atmosphere was very wobble but tbh i managed to capture some sharp data

So two things, pics are darker but sharper

And i took around 150

[balmy ravine]

Tested my solar filter by shining a bright flashlight on the wall, let's through about 1/100,000 of light and has a magenta hue

[cunning chasm]

What does WB 6500K mean?

[spice gale]

Ignore it

Its whire balance

So low wb gives it a blueish tint

And high wb goves it a reddish tint

[thorny bobcat]

Reprocessed But with the same data apparently i got much more detail than i thought. also i was much worse at processing earlier this year than i am currently.

[coral cedar]

I don't use any blending mode actually, I separate the moon and the moon glow, there are 2 different photos

[coral cedar]

It's ok

Need lucky imaging

[fading bobcat]

Oh yeah, looks much more like a stacked photo than what you had before

Nicely done

Though why is it black and white?

[spice gale]

https://we.tl/t-vJmVny6uVY

[spice gale]

170 images not bad

[spice gale]

Alright so no more clear nights here

4 days is pretty good still

[thorny bobcat]

when stacking in astrosurface Black and White reduces the noise and can get better results when the stars are extremely faint in the sub exposures

[fading bobcat]

Suppose it makes sense with that data

[coral cedar]

milky way captured with phone 30 x 15s

[balmy ravine]

Why does it look fake, like not enough stars are visible for it to appear that bright

Ah it's the core

[coral cedar]

And I use star removal also

[nimble harness]

U should add the stars back

Looks a tad cooked without them

[spice gale]

Im sure the stars would ruin it

[nimble harness]

I'm curious tho

[coral cedar]

I don't really like a crowded stars dominate my pic tho

Too messed up tbh, so yeah I reduced it

[fading bobcat]

Looks unnatural too imo

[spice gale]

Maybe bc of the blue

[versed jetty]

nah because its denoiiiiiiiiiseeeeedd

noise doesnt hurt

[spice gale]

What are you doing here seestar user😭

[versed jetty]

I dont own a seestar

[spice gale]

Oh fr??

Crazy

Good job

Now the 20’ dobson?

[versed jetty]

20?😭😭😭

half of that

[spice gale]

Awww

[dreamy pebble]

Yeah the noise microtexture is something I try not to obliterate

[coral cedar]

Yes

[spice gale]

@coral cedar mind if you do me one more lunar pic??

[coral cedar]

Yess

I have your files, but I haven't edit yet

[coral cedar]

I need this file

It got expired haha

[fading bobcat]

Just bought a uranus c

Phone astro will end soon

[spice gale]

Lmk how it is fir planetary and dso, i want to buy it too

[fading bobcat]

Snagged it used for $250, so hoping it does well

[spice gale]

Bargain

[formal notch]

i m gonna buy a new phone should i go with samsung or motorola

[spice gale]

Depends on shat models

[sand furnace]

Samsung has lots of bloatware, moto performers badly from my experience

But ye depends on model

[potent gorge]

what bloatware?

[sand furnace]

All them Samsung versions of app store, gallery, photos, etc that u can't uninstall

[formal notch]

I see

[potent gorge]

whats bloating it?

[formal notch]

I am comparing motorola's edge 50 fusion with samsung (the models which have raw and high exposure capabilities) for same price

[sand furnace]

Are you buying for personal use or purely for astro?

[formal notch]

Peraonal with less of astro

I am planing to do planetary for which i already use a webcam

[potent gorge]

if you dont mind buying a 5 year old phone, the S20 is pretty solid

ive been using it quite a while and its been going well

[sand furnace]

Imo the latest phones should give the best experience, idk ur budget tho

[formal notch]

I see, i dont mind it just that my parenta insist on buying phone by visiting a real shop and i dont think they would keep 5yra old phones

[formal notch]

20k inr

[potent gorge]

look into the samsung A or J series

[formal notch]

Did, not much option

[potent gorge]

S series is the flagship, i'd expect that to be far more expensive

[formal notch]

Yeah

I am using a A04e (kinda shit in all aspects)

[potent gorge]

Shit. you can say the word.

[formal notch]

Oh

[potent gorge]

try your luck with google pixel

[formal notch]

Ik but same story as s series

😭

[wind spoke]

Amazing bro, awesome

I took these 2 images using my phone from a Bortle 7.7 sky. 1st one used 7 images and 2nd one used 10. Each one with 32s exposure and ISO 800. Processed with Sequator.

[proven gull]

no way this is bortle 7

[somber lantern]

Processed in sequator or stacked in sequator

[wind spoke]

Both

Well, stacked

But processed sound more cool tbh

[wind spoke]

Actually, 7.7 is closer to 8 than to 7

If wonder why no close up, that's obvious. I'd be doxing myself.

[proven gull]

Thats insane

This is my bortle 7.1

[somber lantern]

What did you process it in? I think you could get a little more detail out of it just to see how much it'd be possible to get

[plush palm]

Star trials widefield, the app only let me do 100 frames when I clearly had 301 but who cares.... Anywayss taken on realme 9 in Slovenia (each frame 25 seconds)

I see that you acknowledged that too. But I would not give out what city I live in, online to strangers

[wind spoke]

"What did you process in?"

No.

[wind spoke]

Kinda see it, but not too much, like my Milky Way image

[remote cypress]

Was viewing Saturn the other day and put my phone on my nexyz adapter and got this photo from a 90 second video pretty accurate to what I saw

[formal notch]

that with a phone is really good

[coral cedar]

Woahhh

That's the most sharpest saturn I've ever seen captured with phone

[spice gale]

What telescope do you use, cant believe this is with a phone

[remote cypress]

12'' dobsonian

[versed jetty]

florida mentionned 🐊 🌀

[balmy ravine]

What app?

[spice gale]

I think its his phone cam

[balmy ravine]

What phone? It allows for quite a high shutter speed

[spice gale]

idk

[balmy ravine]

What website is that?

[wispy atlas]

iphone 16 pro max

[sand furnace]

https://lightpollutionmap.app/

[wispy atlas]

yeah do NOT trust light pollution maps

[spice gale]

Oh yea so uhm why is that

[wispy atlas]

not accurate

[spice gale]

Tell me one site thats accurate

[wispy atlas]

none

[spice gale]

Exactlyy

[wispy atlas]

none are accurate

so

don’t trust them

[spice gale]

What do tou use to see your borrle?

The most accurate

[wispy atlas]

nothing

[spice gale]

Robophobic lmao

[wispy atlas]

i’ve just always assumed in bortle 3-4

because of the sky quality

[spice gale]

Yea ive seen that vid buddy youre like b6 atm

[spice gale]

Its alright, thanks alot

[coral cedar]

no problem

if u want to stack again

just let me know

I mean only thing is if you can make it 1:1 or 4:3, the hdr one

If you know what i mean

Nope, and it was a pain

I need a mount asap

[dreamy pebble]

holy crap

[spice gale]

I guess it can still do its job

[lean magnet]

why's the moon flipped

[dusk crow]

This is normal in Northern hemisphere

[lean magnet]

no it isnt

it's flipped vertically

that doesn't happen no matter where you are

[dusk crow]

This was my Full moon and I didn’t do anything

[lean magnet]

yeah that's normal

his is flipped

here i unflipped it

[spice gale]

Youre right

[dusk crow]

I don’t know Why
Maybe Perspektive

[spice gale]

Idk

Didnt even notice

[lean magnet]

perspective can't flip the moon

it can only rotate it

[spice gale]

Check copernicus

Hes right

[wind spoke]

Nahh your too good

Nice one

Oh yeah this is my sec account haha

[spice gale]

Nice sub, what eyepiece do you use?

[iron bear]

Svbony 18mm UFF. Same as Sky rover, APM etc UFF version

[spice gale]

18 mm and you got that much of andromeda

Whats your f ratio

[iron bear]

it´s 65 degree eyepiece
My scope is a 114/900mm F8~

[spice gale]

Oh wow

Im f5

Here is a rough sub

As you can see lots of ugly stars and untracked mount

And i need a good flat field eyepiece

[iron bear]

My sub is 55 seconds at ISO 800... I’m using a 114mm with a motorized Exos 2 running OnStep

[spice gale]

Uhh mine was 180 s iso i dont remember and 6” dobson flextube untracked

man good to see you lucas

bring back your great photo

this is my attempt of doing andromeda with phone lmaooo

doing it untracked lmaoo

[pastel nexus]

What eyepiece are you using?

[coral cedar]

20mm

its has narrow fov

and the distortion

nahhh dont mention it, its worse

[pastel nexus]

Is it on an eq mount with slow motion controls?

[coral cedar]

Eq mount, but it has no tracker
