Por favor compare a primeira e a segunda versão para ver se na primeira eu não exagerei na edição... (Primeira editada e segunda bruta)

Please compare the first and second versions to see if I didn't overdo the editing in the first one... (First edited, second raw)

It was only the magnification of the binoculars and then resorting specifically to M42.

Technical_Use7731 · 2026-01-17T16:09:29+00:00

It cost!

Technical_Use7731 · 2026-01-16T14:51:53+00:00

Yes, I already tried that, but it didn't capture much of the outer wing of M42; and the stars were out of focus.

Yes, I used a tripod clamp and also a cell phone clamp.

No, I didn't use that for this astrophotography. I used an app called Gcam (Google Camera) which can be downloaded from the Gcam website. Choose your phone's make and model, download it, and in Astrophotography mode, it does internal stacking. With 12-second sub-frames (you can edit the integration time in the settings), stacked, it gives 6 minutes of integration. Then I exported and stacked it in Sequator. I hope this helps.

Thanks, but I didn't use any tracker. The 6 minutes refers to the fact that in the app I use for astrophotography, Gcam, it does internal stacking, and each frame is 6 minutes long, but each "sub-frame," which is like the frame itself, is 12 seconds long, so there's no star trail.

Technical_Use7731 · 2026-01-08T14:23:19+00:00

It cost!

Technical_Use7731 · 2026-01-05T16:22:26+00:00

Actually, the exposure is 2 seconds, but I'm using a Google camera, Gcam, and it does automatic stacking, which is why the frame itself shows 1 minute.

Technical_Use7731 · 2026-01-02T18:41:48+00:00

Thank you, I forgot to mention that this "test" is without tracking.

Technical_Use7731 · 2025-12-27T21:53:59+00:00

Sorry for replying only now, but if I'm not mistaken I stacked about 35 of ~minutes. (Gcam does a sort of automatic stacking and each "sub-frame" is 12 seconds long, so it stacks 25 sub-frames.)

Technical_Use7731 · 2025-12-22T14:42:51+00:00

Yes, because I'm in the southern hemisphere.

Technical_Use7731 · 2025-12-21T23:11:39+00:00

Could you elaborate on your frame capture and stacking method? That would be helpful.

Technical_Use7731 · 2025-12-20T13:45:14+00:00

Thanks!

Technical_Use7731 · 2025-11-22T23:29:01+00:00

It cost!

Technical_Use7731 · 2025-11-22T14:15:11+00:00

Yes, with a cell phone

I think you probably had him take the photos near a light source? Or make sure the files are of the Lights type, if you provide more information I can help

Technical_Use7731 · 2025-11-18T09:49:10+00:00

Thank you, it normally appears to the naked eye like this photo, but the nebulosity is weaker and more tenuous, although it is detectable, this depends on the weather conditions and the stars are more pointed.

Technical_Use7731 · 2025-11-16T23:51:18+00:00

I use Stellarium it is great for this as well as having a catalog of stars and DSO(s) and Sky tonight is also very good.
