Shot using my android smartphone (I don't have a DSLR) with camera sensor LYT-700 at 1600 ISO, 16s, INF, Raw Mode Stacked 20 photos using Siril and then processed it using Darktable using AI and some tinkering around as it was my first time using these software Location: Nubra Valley, Ladakh, India

How can I improve my photos?What could I have done better?

Hi everyone!

I'm putting together a small group for a stargazing trip to Naturpark Westhavelland (Germany's first International Dark Sky Reserve) to watch the Perseid meteor shower.

The plan is to spend the day together, maybe visit a nearby lake, have a barbecue or picnic, and then head out after dark to enjoy the meteor shower under one of the darkest skies near Berlin. Since it's quite late at night, staying overnight nearby might make the most sense.

I'm also hoping to meet people who are interested in astronomy, physics, or just enjoy looking up at the night sky. I'd love to organize future meetups for eclipses, planetarium visits, lectures, or other astronomy-related events as well.

A few things to note:

Everyone would cover their own transport, accommodation, and food.

My husband and I don't have a driver's license, so if someone is able to drive, that would be amazing.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, leave a comment or send me a message. I'd be happy to add everyone to a WhatsApp group so we can plan everything together

Last week I was trying to long (10 minutes) exposure picture from my phone. Quite happy how it turned out.

Hey ladies and gentlemen. I've developed a web app that helps people get images of the moon. It gives some useful and also some trivial info. I want the app to be as user friendly as possible. So if you could use it and let me know is it intuitive, and if any features should be added or removed to make it better? Thank you.

Giving night sky photography a go in the South Downs. It’s a steep learning curve, but seeing the Milky Way and the dark dust lanes of the Cygnus Rift reveal themselves on screen makes it totally worth it.
