I think this was ~4 minutes worth of exposure time. I took this with my Pixel phone and Google's astrophotography mode, which is part of the Night Sight setting. When the phone realizes it's completely still, like on a tripod, and it's looking at the sky, it gives you the option of taking pictures like this. It actually takes a lot of short exposures and stacks them. It's a very automated process, so there's not much tweaking to do. I do wish they gave the user more control.
The setup for this picture was just my Pixel 6 Pro on a tripod pointing up. :)
That's an airplane traveling though as the exposure was happening.
Here's a picture I took of the Milky Way with my phone. My telescope rig is out of commission until I get my new (used) observatory up and running. I need to install the dome rotator, but I'm waiting on a part to arrive before I can finish.
This is all I've got for now. I took this last weekend with my Pixel phone in astrophotography mode.
If you want to see my older images, I have quite a few posted on Astrobin here: https://www.astrobin.com/users/BensAstroStuff/
Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light... Then, you energy.
I took this picture from my backyard in April. More details on my Astrobin page: https://www.astrobin.com/hoeyl5/
Planting grapes and irises, then going to the local Italian restaurant for dinner. Tomorrow, picking up hay for the donkeys. Playing Valheim between all that. 😆
I've been playing a lot of Valheim lately. I run a small server for my family and a couple friends that get on occasionally. We just made our first visit to the mountains, but we made it to the plains first. That was pretty brutal.
Yes. 88 Octaine is 15% ethonol instead of 10%.
