Been Interested in Astophotography

[Charion]

I've been exploring more about the cosmos as of late, yesterday from 10 PM to 2 AM in Estonia, there was super clear skies, no moon light (new moon), where I was able to take some great photos from my own window while the window was open, even with light pollution, the pictures that I did manage to take were awesome.









While the pictures need some editing to make them look better, I admire my work even if they are rather simple.

Nice, what camera did you use?

My S22 Ultra

To be more specific: Telephoto and Super Telephoto, some were made also using wide, all of these pictures were taken with RAW app and astrophotography mode.

Surprisingly good for a phone

Does astrophotography mode do long exposure?

It has from 4 minutes to 10 minutes, from my testing, 4 or 7 minutes give the best pictures, but then again, all of the pictures that I've taken were from a window, might be different when taking pictures from a place where there's no city lights and stuff.

Interesting... how does it track the star movement? Are you using some sort of motorized tripod

I have a selfie stick that has a built-in tripod.

my expertise is still limited on how it works to be fair, but I'm using the RAW app on my phone that has a specific astrophoto mode (picture below)


that basically takes pictures depending on the selected duration (exposure), I want to take more pictures from my window, unfortunate thing about it is that the nights are still relatively cloudy, so it makes it nearly impossible to capture them. But I hope once the summer rolls around, the nights will be less cloudy, I will also be going out during those times where I can take better and more pictures, until then window capturing will do.

Is this purely the phone's camera or their AI implemented for clearer photos? Looks cool either way.

it's a mix of both, I don't exactly remember. I appreciate it dude, the weather hasn't been perfect to take more of them.
