Very cool!
Thank you
Awesome, also considering a 6 years old phone. All I can do here is this:
S23 Ultra, 24mm lens with a single 120s exposure at ISO 800 (motioncam pro & lightroom for heavy clarity lifting)
That's really good for a single exposure. I would recommend you to take 40-50 photos and stack them together. It produced really excellent astrophoto.
Since I dont know the ISO variance of the sensor, I think single exposure time is the saver option considering the same total integration time. For that, on the S23 Ultra I would then rather use "deep sky camera," even tho it does not create as clean raws as "motioncam". Motioncam tho is very unstable on the s23 ultras 24mm lenses sensor and only creates 2 120s images over 12 minutes of recording. Jungle mode is Jungle mode...
but yes in this case I could have done like 15 51s exposures with deep sky camera
Cool. Why aren't you using the ExpertRaw that came with Samsung? It has the astrophotography mode as far as I know. Is it not that good?
'no good' is a very gross understatement. There are some posts about this in some samsung subs. Overall, the DNG file created is messed up. When opened with lightroom or similar software, it creates a lot of colour banding. The bit depth does not appear to succeed that of a 100% jpeg. Since I have a simple tracker, I would rather use this one and take a single 30s exposure, looking better than samsungs mess.
I have recently bought Pixel 8 pro and was wondering which Tripod would be suitable for Astrophotography? Any suggestions?
Any tripod will do. I get myself a cheap one
Thanks
