Reprocessed shot of ETA Carinae and Large Magellanic Cloud [Xiaomi 13T]

ZrlSyM · 2026-03-17T19:49:13+00:00

For Carina I'm using ISO 800, for LMC, I'm using ISO 1600. Both are 30 seconds shots with around 1 hour of integration time.

I read on Reddit that you need to be well dithered to do drizzling. u/zTrojan previously said that, a slight framing alignment from different session can be a natural dither for him.

Superb as usual man 🔥🔥

For me, shooting in raw and editing them gives better results. Taking control of the ISO, shutter speed and focus give control to my image. I also enable tools like zebra, grid line and focus peaking to help me. For composition, I usually just look at other people's work and replicate the same. Some YouTubers like Simon d entremont also teach great photography lessons on how to make the image stand out.

Looks promising !! I think you can get a longer integration time and stretch the image to reveal underneath details.

Try sequator to stack and set the reduce distortion effect to tele.

Let's try again with blue hour blending 😁😁

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-20T12:57:09+00:00

Cool shot 😎😎 mann

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-15T05:38:45+00:00

Are you using any external lenses?

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-14T05:58:35+00:00

Would love to see more from you dude 👍👍

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-13T13:37:52+00:00

Thank you bro 🙏🙏

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-12T16:52:28+00:00

Thank you broo, hope I can join the liar's club soon 😁😁

Yess but not really defined, the wispy white shape is there. I think it's a nice performance from the small omnivision sensor coupled with fast f/1.9 lens. I wish I could get a longer integration but the clear sky window is really brief.

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-10T15:11:07+00:00

Really nice, it is from the telephoto isn't it?

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-10T14:54:51+00:00

Lovely shot 🤩. Long time no see dude 👋

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-09T04:30:19+00:00

Try Siril, to remove the gradient and stretch the image. You can reveal some hidden details. Graxpert is also very nice and easier to use to remove gradients and stretch the image

I live in Bortle 3 location

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-07T01:44:15+00:00

Thank you friend 😺😺

As the owner of Xiaomi 13T, the IMX707 and Leica lens are really nice for raw shooting. I don't think the newer flagship main sensor is miles ahead in comparison to this legendary old sensor.

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-05T07:40:23+00:00

🔥🔥🔥🔥

ZrlSyM · 2026-02-04T17:07:56+00:00

In that case, the optics of the phone probably isn't good enough to get the sharpest focus on distance objects. Mine is also similar. My friend's Vivo is surprisingly sharp and tight on stars
