20 seconds using Night Mode on the standard lens! I used a tripod for this.

it says shutter speed is 1 second but it was 20. i think this app hasn’t been updated to understand night mode yet.

What app did you use?

Ok, help me out here.

Where is the setting to set 20 seconds? Max is 3, so far as I can see.

As it gets darker you can slide the slider to the right for longer exposure. On a tripod the iPhone detects it’s stable and will give you the ability to go up to 30 seconds.

Amazing.

 

[tonyy]

Beautiful picture.

 

[penajmz]

Awesome shot!!!

 

[Tommy c]

This is very nice, very nice!!

 

[cwwilson]

Could this same photo be shot with these results on a regular iPhone 11 or is this only possible on the Pro?

 

[joeblough]

i took this image of orion in feb 2013, i guess on an iphone 5. i probably used cortex cam, which stacks photos. focus and stability were poor - this was hand-held. it will be interesting to see what the iphone11 can do in a similar situation! anyway there's no metadata in the image so i can't say exactly what i did, it was too long ago...

@Advil Beautiful pic! What is that cluster of stars towards the lower left of the sky?

 

[princ2]

Really, really nice photo. Wow. What tripod did you use?

 

[anthonymoody]

Man oh man oh mandy. That is an incredible shot.

 

[naturalstar]

Oh!! Awesome! One thing I have wanted to do is to take some awesome star pictures such as these. I must try this again now that I have the new Pro.

@Advil Beautiful pic! What is that cluster of stars towards the lower left of the sky?

based on the time and location, that's the pleiades.

 

[coffeeplease]

Stunning!! Can't believe the cameras can do this.

 

[Mad4clay]

Great shot!

 

[Cryates]

The best part is how it doesn’t just try to overexpose the sky for the sake of catching more detail. I love that it keeps the sky black and just brings out the stars. Good stuff.

 

[cbautis2]

Moonlight as the only light source at night. Night mode makes it look like daylight with the black skies too

 

[Moriarty]

based on the time and location, that's the pleiades.

Pretty sure that’s the Pleiades, yeah. Given the nebula around the stars isn’t really visible, I doubt the iPhone will get very much of the galactic core. Nevertheless, that is pretty impressive for a phone.

Amazing shots. I’ve gotten night mode to 10s. The darkest the more you can go. I didn’t know this until I read it this past week. The longer the better.
