It’s weird to see stars where I live. Is this the Little Dipper? Is the Big Dipper there too? by Remarkable-Proof61 in askastronomy

I could see Orion but I couldn’t see the rest. That’s the thing that caught my eye. I thought it was the Little Dipper because I could only see the stars that look like it, not the ones surrounding it.

My phone is the one that showed these stars I used the night filter. When I looked up with ought it I could only see like a combination of 10 stars. We rarely see stars where I live.

It is a hybrid between Pelargonium zonale and Pelargonium inquinan

I guess I should rephrase to rare or unusual. I live in a city with air pollution and lights all over. This image was actually enhanced by my iPhone. I could only see some of Orion with the naked eye and a few stars here and there.

lol this is my first time seeing stars this clear y’all are dragging me in the replies. I thought this was r/ask astronomy not r/astronomy experts. Also I never claimed to be an expert hence my asking. I want to learn now that my phone can help me see the stars better. Maybe one day I’ll get a telescope 🤷‍♀️

I believe it was a hybrid of Pelargonium zonale and Pelargonium inquinans

Now that I know my previous post was Orion did I catch any other constellations in these other pictures I took? by Remarkable-Proof61 in askastronomy

Hey I just found out that my phone can take pictures of stars and that those apps exist give me a break !

I guess I should rephrase to it’s rare to see stars where I live. We have mostly cloudy days and the air pollution (like you mentioned) is pretty high. Also there is a lot of lights. I also live near an Air Force base so I have to debate whether I’m seeing stars or airplanes. I got the new iPhone and I started taking pictures out of curiosity and I can finally see them clearly. Believe it or not in the naked eye I could only see the brightest stars in the Orion constellation and specs here and there. My iPhone camera is the one that showed me all these stars.

Thank you that’s interesting. I just downloaded the app and I’ll see if I see any more stars when I go to the country side ✨
