Super nice for only 10 minutes of exposure, you can just barely see the flame nebula! Orion came out nicely too, and the glow of Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka, are wonderful.

I bet you could easily get the horsehead nebula with double or triple the exposure time. If I can just barely resolve horsehead with eight minutes of exposure on my phone, then I'm sure you can resolve it much nicer using your far better suited equipment. I wanna see you image it!

I live in a bortle 6.5, but oftentimes it's more like a bortle 7.5 when everyone's lights are on.

#

So not ideal

#

Not actually sure, I use my phone combined with a 12x50 monocular

#

I unfortunately don't know how to calculate f stop for the phone camera combined with the monocular lens, but if you were wondering what the results look like

#

oh damnit

#

hold on

#

there we go

It's really really hard to see it, but the horsehead is just barely there
