Been Interested in Astophotography

[[MPGH]Venom]

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.

Here are some more pictures that were taken with 7 or 10 minute duration.









The pictures look blurry because these are not raw pictures, I'll download the proper ones later at one point and edit them.





These latest two were taken nearby beach of mine, and as you can see the pictures are far better compared to the ones I provided on this post and previous others, these two are also edited. I do not know how to edit out the beam of light from the nearby podium, but I do think it's what makes it slightly unique as well.

What iPhone? These were taken with S22 ultra, no iPhone is capable of it, considering it's max zoom is 10x or 50x, can't fucking recall therefore, it's shit.
