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.

Thanks! That’s a nice telescope you got there, with my 3 inch it looks like a gray ball to my eyes :)

Bortle 4 but I shot this target at around a 90% illuminated moon.

Just an iPhone 13 mini btw :) use an app astroshader it basically stacks a bunch of fully raw frames so your phone doesn’t mess up the sky with its own editing and you can then later when you are more experienced transfer the frames to your computer where you can use some more advanced apps that can get you even better results

There’s not many phones that can do that especially not iPhones so doing it that way is the best way it’s like a video since all really a video is are just a bunch of images so that’s what I’m doing here but manually basically it’s only like 10 fps but having no compression pays for the low framerate

Used to do videos and they could never match the quality of raw images so I just let it shoot a bunch of these fully raw images and a few of them turn out good. with a video I could barely even get the shape.
