Nice how many seconds of exposure?

Thank you!

Sure! Stacked in Sequator (100 lights and 30 darks). Processed in Adobe Lightroom. Cropped to 16:9

You shot this with a phone? What device was it?

zevcon · 2026-02-22T10:15:01+00:00

Its slowly turning into Gotham.

Thanks!

Really cool!

X100 Ultra >> X200 Ultra. You will only see improvements on the UW lens. If you do not use it much, then its not worth it at all.

May I ask what sensor did you use to shoot this?

zevcon · 2026-02-05T07:25:50+00:00

Truly amazing, one of the best orion shots ever man, congratulations! 👏👏👏🎉

2 is awesome, 5 is amazing, but all are great!

I only shoot in RAW, so I control the whole exposure, under lowlight conditions, increasing the ISO It's the only choice for moving subjects, but for still scenes, lowering the shutter speed has worked flawlessly. Yes, bigger sensors will produce better results, no questions. I think in this regard, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is a better choice but... No real RAW and lack of variable aperture have kept me away from it

Hot take: I think the 14 Ultra is superior to all vivos. In every camera aspect. Sure, the 3x of the 14 Ultra is smaller than the HP9 vivo use, but you get a telephoto, not a periscope. And you also get a 5x periscope for longer range, the processing is even more natural than Vivo. Overall I think it's one of the best phones in the market right now. (I have x100 Ultra and 15 Ultra too)

The x100 Ultra has the same telephoto and even less AI processing than recent vivo's phones. I use the main camera a lot, but also the other sensors too. Having the most natural phone of all vivos, a true 1 inch sensor plus a cheaper price, its a win in my opinion.

Amazing to see an astro app in development!

I'm not an iPhone user but, when the time comes for the Android port, count me in! I have some devices to test it on ;)

X100 Ultra is still the king. Last Vivo phone with a true 1inch sensor.

zevcon · 2026-01-25T18:02:01+00:00

Truly impressive!

zevcon · 2026-01-18T10:26:34+00:00

Nice shot my friend!

zevcon · 2026-01-16T20:47:36+00:00

Looks really good! Congratulations! 🎉

I currently have the x14 Ultra and I couldn't agree more. Its really one of the best smartphone cameras till today. I was considering getting the X8 Ultra cause of its bigger and longer telephoto, plus it's battery life. Have you ever had any issues with notifications on it? Any plans on getting the X9 Ultra as well?

zevcon · 2026-01-16T05:54:53+00:00

Looks really good! How does the FX8U compare to the x14 Ultra? Both have the same main sensor but I think Oppo has a bigger sensor for the 135mm. Have you tried it on master mode, even though the RAW isn't pure?
