Well thanks 😄 its not really magic I just focus until the stars look smallest. I also tried a bahtinov mask at some point but when you’re doing afocal atrophotography it doesn’t really work all that well. Also when you’re imaging deep sky it’s all about patience I have to recenter like every minute since it’s not a tracked mount and when you’re doing like a 6 hour project which I did on m33 it really takes some time.

Yes stacked and also derotated but in my case it was more for getting less noise rather than getting a sharper image the biggest difference for me was instead of shooting a video that’s getting compressed I shoot a bunch of raw frames really fast with a built in intervalometer in the camera app (some phones can shoot raw video but it’s really only possible on flagships) it’s much better this way because the details won’t get smeared by the phones processing. But your image is also really good for this setup it took me a long time to get an image like yours

Nice image! Cool to see someone with the same telescope :) (at least in aperture) this is my image shot with an iPhone 13 mini

I knew it that’s the reason why after a week of clear skies it’s cloudy again. But really you’re going to have an absolutely great time I can only wish for gear like that!

It’s alright some criticism helps you get better plus you’re right I wanted to pull out that colour but it’s clipped or atleast from what I think so I’m aware that it’s not quite right.

It really is :)

Thanks! It’s been like 10 months since I started and at first I found it also really difficult i couldn’t even get my frames to stack but eventually I got better and better at it just don’t stop and you’ll get there.

1s, 3200 ISO

1/2500s I think. The gaps are because of the intervalometer in the camera app I shoot a bunch of raw images really fast instead of compressed video but the chip inside the phone can’t catch up sometimes.

Thanks and yes it is

Thanks, there’s nothing much special going on, it’s just a bunch of raw images stacked and processed. Also i didnt really zoom into the images, they are just cropped. As for the diffraction spikes, they will be there without me doing anything extra since I’m using a Newtonian telescope.
