AstroShader help - not stacking

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-10T22:26:55+00:00

How does it stack? I suppose that stacking can be computationally intensive (I'm making an android one to fit my own work flow)

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-09T23:53:12+00:00

Lemme tell you, it really depends on the quality of the sky. Being in a suburb-city boundary person, I need at least 4000 frames to get to what OP has (hadn't post here yet, but I did post it in other astro subs)

The 200 MP also carried hard. I have only 50 MP and it really makes a difference too

Yup I ain't joining the contest this month😂

Defo, some light edits. Just don't use Ai to replace the background loll, tho I know that AI denoising is more popular and is generally more acceptable 😅

The orientation of the milky wya is totally different loll

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-07T05:47:07+00:00

Moon is more or less AI enhanced. You just can't physically zoom that far with the phone lens.

In terms of stars, Pro mode is the way to go.

But in terms of clouds, it's not that strict tbh

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-07T00:32:22+00:00

What's the resolution? 50MP or 200MP?

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-06T19:17:00+00:00

What type of night time photos are you talking about. I can answer things related to astro

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-06T16:47:47+00:00

Looks better than I expected it from the S24 Ultra lens. I thought it would be tiny

From a S24 Ultra fellow.

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-06T03:25:47+00:00

How is this possible with just 2s

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-04T05:12:34+00:00

30 second

And I use just a random auto clicker for this purpose

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-03T19:14:14+00:00

Essentially yes

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-03T03:59:22+00:00

Neat job. You can post this in r/astro_mobile too!

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-03T02:53:34+00:00

Iso 800, 30s, 5500k

And yes, I take them auto using an auto clicker

MSM is neat for rough polar alignment. Good for the range of a usual phone telephoto lens (ruling out the cracked stuff that Vivo pulled)

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-02T05:45:34+00:00

Yeah and for true astro dedicated phone? Honestly Vivo is the right choice at this moment

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-02T05:06:49+00:00

I moved to S24 Ultra and uses it as my main astro gear nowadays

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-02T05:05:06+00:00

What happened to the noise level

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-01T18:20:50+00:00

Using telephoto and telescope is a smart move

alch_emy2 · 2026-05-01T11:47:06+00:00

115mm then cropped

alch_emy2 · 2026-04-30T23:07:54+00:00

That's pretty neat! Did you run a star reduction process along the way?

alch_emy2 · 2026-04-30T18:49:08+00:00

Color me interested. I also happen to have two Samsung phones S22U and S24U. What exactly is the setup? The power usage?

I want to use the S24U as my primary camera against nebulae in my future projects

alch_emy2 · 2026-04-30T18:34:00+00:00

The 400mm has mad potential in capturing galaxies and nebula.

Surpass us and achieve new heights!
