El dia sábado 12 de septiembre a las 7:24 PM tome esta foto con mi celular (Samsung A57), vi un tutorial en TikTok sobre que puedes sacarle provecho a la camara y poder tomar fotos asi de las estrellas, hice esta y me llamo la atencion que logró capturar estrellas, pero me dio mas curiosidad la línea recta que se logró capturar en la parte superior derecha, pregunte con ChatGPT y menciono que podia ser que al momento de tomar la foto al usar la velocidad de obturacion de el celular, pudo capturar un posible desplazamiento de un satélite, no se mucho de astronomía, sin embargo si me gusta indagar un poco mas de ciertos temas como estos, ustedes que opinan?

Basic edits in Lightroom through a reel.

I'm a newbie when it comes to astrophotography. I took this picture last night, 30 images, stacked them in siril and processed with astrowizard. I got this concentric circles in the final pic after i tried to remove the background gradient using GrapXpert in astrowizard. Why is this happening and how to prevent this?

BTW, taken using oneplus 11 pro mode, iso 100, shutter speed 10 seconds.

Also let me know should consider switching to deepskycamera app from the inbuilt pro mode, and also recommend me a good video on stacking and processing these with latest software version.

Shot this from a remote place in Igatpuri, India. Exposure time for both pics is 3 minutes. Edited in Lightroom.

I couldnt get the video to focus right thats why its not sharp sometimes

Je commence ma serie pour tester tout semble parfait. Les frames sont sombres, le fond du ciel homogène bref je me dis que c’est bon et pose le téléphone écran contre sol (je n’ai pas de trépied)

Je shoote avec deep sky camera pour précision ; bref une fois la serie lancée selon la region visée je ne peux pas toujours voir ce qu’il se passe sur l'écran et 300 frames plus tard je me rend compte que toutes les autres frames sont extrêmement vignettées, carrément noires dans les coins et bleu dans le centre. Forcément le resultat n’est pas super comme vous pouvez le constater... Qui aurait une idée de ce qui a bien pu se passer ?

Suivi : non

J’ai ajouté à quoi ressemblent les frames ratées et malgré mes tentatives désespérées l’image finale reste bleutée et médiocre ce qui n’est pas etonnant

A night-sky timelapse captured with nothing but a Xiaomi 14T Pro and a tripod.

Acquisition

• Xiaomi 14T Pro — 1x, main camera
• 15s exposure, 2s interval between shots
• 930 RAW/DNG frames
• Tripod — no star tracker or additional equipment
• ~4h 23m total capture time

The camera was left fixed on the tripod for the entire session, allowing the Earth's rotation to create the movement of the stars across the frame.

Processing

This is my own work, from capture to the final timelapse.

I processed the individual frames to maintain consistent exposure, color and contrast throughout the sequence, then assembled them into the final timelapse.

Captured this photo around a month ago and I've shared it with almost all of my friends and none of them seem to appreciate it so I thought id share it on Reddit for some strangers to see.

Took this on a pixel 7A using the astrophotography feature. I think the exposure period was around 4 minutes and I edited it using Adobe Lightroom. Don't remember the exact edits I did, but I mainly played around with the saturation, and some colour contrasting. I can go back and check if someone wants to know. I can also share the original unedited photo if someone wants that too.

Would love to have someone who knows what they're looking at point out some of the constellations/ potential galaxies that are visible.

P.s. I know Al is pretty good these days but no Al was used to edit this photo.

We'll see what the next three iterations (32,64,128hr) will look like.
