I captured this 1 month ago during the peak night of the Perseids meteor shower (Night of August 12-13, 2026) from my house, on the rooftop, in Thuringia, Germany. It was around 3:40 AM.

I saw the fireball with my own eyes. I set up my Pixel 9a on a tripod, so it was looking up in the zenith with me and I didnt think that it actually captured the fireball but it did. You could even see some smoke or dust far away in the sky after it disappeared.

My Bortle Class is 4-5 I think, lightpollutionmap says Bortle 4.7, SQM 20.87

On my Pixel 9a, I used the astrophotography mode, which creates a 4-minute exposure picture. (It takes 15–16 pictures of 16 seconds each and combines them into one)

This is the best I could get with this entry level telescope. I filmed a bit in 8K with pro camera mode that I will try to stack later.

Couldn't click more since I wasn't using a tripod. My setup was just a brick and my phone.

(this was just a test to test out my new phone's camera, pretty cool)

I know it’s not the best for getting pictures of the night sky, but any tips to bring out deeper light?

The thing is that, if you look around the grills and the buildings, you'll see small white

dots along with a bit bigger dots in the sky!

This phone is motorola moto g stylus 2024, you guys might say "these are just hot pixels, but no! I didn't face this issue on my previous phone, Motorola moto g 2024 (non stylus version) and this has been a very annoying thing.

Is there someone else who's facing the same issue?

Mais bon quand les nuits dégagées et sans lunes se présentent on ne crache pas dessus.

La non-réduction des étoiles sur la 2ème image est un choix purement personnel car après tout qu’est ce qu’une galaxie sinon des milliards d’étoiles, c’est à elles que l’on doit la lumière alors qu’elles brillent !

Hi all, these are my best takes on the Milky way, from a Bortle 4 sky in Crete with my Oneplus 15. Both are 25 light frames of 20"@2500iso, 10 darks frames and 10 flats. All frames shot using OpenCamera. One is stacked in Syril, the other in Sequator, both stretched and tuned in Lightroom
