iPhone 13 Pro Max More Astrophotography

A couple of 30” shots tonight using ProRAW. Edits done in Lightroom. Not to bad considering it’s coming from an iPhone. I still have yet to perfect the edits. But I think this will be as good as it gets. I think if I can take ten 30” shots and stack them, the noise will be greatly reduced. I’ll have to try that soon. For now, 30” around iso 6400 is all I can do for now.

What software do you use to stock multiple images and remove noise?

Can you post your editing values here? I’m trying some as well and want to see if I get similar results.

I think Registax is good but may be only for windows… not sure. I currently don’t have any stacking software, I’ll have to do some research.

Sure: the sky was fairly dark where I took these, hopefully you’ll also locate a dark sky. I’ll be interested in seeing your results

Cool!!!! I used the app “Even Longer” in star trails mode for a [ten minute exposure] and tracked the sky using my Skywatcher Star Adventurer. The app does shoot in Raw so I was able to get a clean image. 600 one second exposures stacked in app. It did great! The Andromeda galaxy is plainly visible. Lots of stars visible as well! It’s not really a great astronomy app for Milky Way photos but will do well for star trails. The trees are blurred due to the tracking. The second image is a zoomed in screen shot. Much cleaner than a 30” night mode image.
