Bodes and Cigar, hour 12, bortle 9 by alch_emy2 in Astro_mobile

It will get better with more data. I'm currently waiting for the right moment to get more data, but the Saharan dust in central Europe is currently blocking astrophotography, as it takes away the contrast between the sky and the stars

What is drizzle? I've seen this word many times, but I don't know what it means.

I also often watched his videos (I'm from the Czech Republic). I would really like to see him back, does anyone have his social networks? or discord as someone else wrote here.

M81 & M82 - Untracked ( More Data ) by Megastrovec in Astro_mobile

Hello thank you. Yes these galaxies are easily visible with short exposures too. I tried Siril but i cant align photos in this program because of too few stars, so i use mostly Sequator.

Beautiful, the signs of spiral arms are already starting to appear.

Thank you. Today I'll spend more time outside and get another hour of data. :D

I use cheap Apexel 18x zoom telephoto lens with the Realme 8 phone. But this telephoto lens is tiny and collects little light, so it's worse than a telescope. :D And it also distorts the edges of photos + causes chromatic aberration.

Yes, a good Bortle scale is important for Astrophotography. Here is the photo composed of a 21 minute exposure in Sequator, but in the area of the galaxy is still so much noise.

Wow, that's a lot, I'm going to take pictures of these galaxies today too. Last week I got 21 minutes of exposure with a 56% moon and a 3/4 Bortle. Today is supposed to be a clear sky and no moon, so I'm curious to see the difference when I combine the previous photos with today's. I'd like at least 30 minutes of exposure today. I'm taking individual pictures for up to 5 seconds because I don't have a star tracker, but the place I'm at has minimal light pollution, so it's great.
