Smartphone Astrophotography

@rdv4ljb @GP_O11 (2)For that reason there would appear to be very few suitable alternatives for our smartphone astrophotography that provide a better option than the default camera installed on many smartphones. But that's my opinion.

@smartphoneastro @GP_O11 My apologies if you’ve answered this a million times but what app would you use for smartphone astrophotography? New iPhone XR today, have a Skywatcher 200PDS on a HEQ5 Pro. NightCap? Love your work by the way 👏👏👏

@rdv4ljb @GP_O11 (1)There is a vast number of alternate camera apps available on the market, the overwhelming majority of these products are more suited to general photography rather than the specific requirements of astrophotography.

@YogeshBang For this reason there would appear to be very few suitable products for our hobby that provide a better alternative than the default camera installed on many smartphones, especially third party apps which are free of charge.

@smartphoneastro Which apps ( free/paid ) are available on Android for Astrophotography ?

The second image I obtained a few days ago shows more or less the same stripe, what could be a good explantation? The stripe is also faintly visible on single frames so no stacking artifact. Any ideas? The gif contains two 500 frame stacks taken twenty days apart. PIPP, AS2, RGS6

I've been experimenting this month imaging Venus with my S9plus smartphone through a 10" Orion Optics UK f4.8 dob. using a Astronomik 807 IR pass filter. The first image( thin crescent) I took the 4th of December and the second the 24th of December.

It might have been mistaken for the star of Bethlehem this morning but in fact the bright "star" in the morning sky is the planet #Venus #MerryChristmas #smartphone #astrophotography #S9plus

@negodobroz Impressive, thanks for sharing.

@smartphoneastro What about this one? Photo taken at Maragogi Beach (-09º00'44", -35º13'21") on 12/11/2018. I used a Xiaomi Mi A2, 32" exposure, ISO 3200 instagram.com/p/BrPlgYUHIg6/…

@smartphoneastro @NightCapApp @SkyandTelescope @AstronomyMag @astronomy Sharp moon. C11 and my IPhone. Copernicus crater. Autostackert2! Seeing decent not great - learning ...

@smartphoneastro @Space_Station Thank you, used the setting you shared with me a while back, just brought my iso down to 640 and used exp 1/2000 sec

@GP_O11 @Space_Station Wow! simply wow!

Super stoked with this result, tried something different and managed to get out a bit more detail on a previous #ISS post #Smartphone #astrophotography @Space_Station
