Orion

Bought a new phone, Huawei P20.
If for some reason I would forget to take my dslr with me, it wouldn't be such big of a problem ..

Post processed with lightroom cc (android). So no need for a pc either

I have shot a lot of things with my phone but have never tried night shots - did you use anything to steady the phone while you were shooting?

These are great.

These are amazing Matti!

I had heard that the camera on that phone was good, but to take shots with stars? That’s a whole other level of good.

I know when it gets very dark at all and try to use my iPhone all I see is black screen.

So how long was the shutter speed on this? Does it have a night mode to push its ISO up?

Thanks. I uploaded a new picture, the first was out of focus. Its actually fairly hard to nail focus with this one. Manual focus will easily either go over or slightly below infinite.

These are shot with a tripod. Shutter speeds are around 20-30 seconds and iso-400-1600. I have noticed that iso 800 is maximum you should use, otherwise you'll get some banding.

This has full manual controls, manual focus, iso 50-3200, shutter speeds from 1/4000 to 30sec. Apertures are f1,8 and f1,4. It also has a specific night mode that I haven't really tried yet. And you can shoot raw.

That Orion image is petty cool, Matti.

That's really amazing. And it's great that you have that much control from a smart phone.

And I found out that this has a build in - startrail - option. I left the phone outside for a half an hour

I'll have to test it a bit more, but so far a pretty neat feature
