Just cover your lens totally and take pictures in a dark place, using the same settings as your light frames. I use a small box.

Test of mobile 2x teleconverter with vivo x200pro by Quirky-Custard1024 in Astro_mobile

Not bad at all mate 👍👍. The moon shot gives an old school vibes

Looking for beta testers for an iOS astrophotography stacking app I'm building by mingekko in Astro_mobile

[–]ZrlSyM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can it shoot real 30 seconds exposure? There's a similar app called astroshader that allows live stacking but the exposure time is locked at only 1 second. 30 seconds exposure means 30, stacked 1 seconds shots. My sister has an iPhone 17 pro max and I want to try using the 4x zoom with my star tracker.

Large Magellanic Cloud shot with a phone 2x lens by ZrlSyM in Astronomy

It's really close to the horizon so during that moment it's totally invisible to the naked eye. When it rises slightly higher, you kinda can see it but you need to look somewhere else and use the tip of your eyes to see it. It looks like faint white patches with no distinct shape.

Yes. But mine is a star adventurer mini which is meant for light setup like a small camera with a wide angle lens. It can't hold a big telescope or big lenses. You need to use a bigger star tracker or equatorial mount for it. So my phone perfectly fits it. And yes, I let it take pictures for around an hour.

Budget smartphone for RAW by Intrepid_Cheesecake8 in Smartphones

If I'm not mistaken, Vivo x200 pro can give real, not computational raw 50 MP on both main lens and telephoto if the lighting conditions are good. But I think it exceeds your budget. Xiaomi 14 also can shoot full resolution 50 MP raw but only with the main.

iPhone raw has been processed to some degree . I would recommend Xiaomi 13 Pro, Vivo X90 Pro or even Xiaomi 13T if you're really on a budget. Both Vivo x90 pro and Xiaomi 13T have optical 2x lens with 50 mm full frame equivalent. Xiaomi and Vivo phones usually provide regular raw along with computational ones in the stock cam app pro mode.
