what the hell?! Do you have a video?!
Yes, I mentioned you in the article that MacRumers put out last week that showed the video.

Moonlight as the only light source at night. Night mode makes it look like daylight with the black skies too
hello new wall paper
If you use a tripod, at the right type of lighting you will see that increasing.
When the iPhone detects that it’s completely steady like on a tripod, you can see it max out at 30 secs.
thanks i see it now, when i put the phone down on a table it went to 30 seconds. good to know thanks
Shot these last night using an osmo 3 Nightcap app open shutter for a little over 12 minute. 1st was just hand held.
Can you imagine before this having the dynamic range to capture both the immediate post-sunset sky AND a star in the dark portion of the sky? Mind blowing...
has anyone checked out "milkycam" on the app store? it's an alignment and stacking program. the UI is super awful but it does work. i haven't figured out all the settings cause it is kind of a mess. but i did make a halfway decent image of orion.
that other star might be a planet, i think they are all kind of lined up by venus right now. could be jupiter.

Taken with my iPhone 11 Pro Max in Sedona, Arizona (a dark sky community; we were there for the Perseid meteor shower, among other things) a couple of months ago. I just propped the phone up against a flashlight and set Night Mode to 30 seconds. Aquila at the top. Saturn and Jupiter to left of center. Sagittarius and the center of the Milky Way Galaxy just above pine tree at bottom. Tail of Scorpius to right of that, with open clusters M6 and M7 barely visible. I may have to actually buy a tripod...

Wow, the lack of noise is incredible. I assume this is straight out of camera, no real other post processing?
WOW! Beautiful photos. This makes me excited for the 12 Pro Max. And somewhere where I can find a moderately dark sky outside of Phoenix. I have a small flexible tripod (Gorillapod style) I could set on top of the car to test with. I'd love to tinker with some astrophotography.
Straight out of camera is a lot more grayish in the skies and stars aren’t as bright due to gray sky noise.
Just the Vivid cool filter to keep the skies blue and increased contrast, and brightness to make the stars pop without sacrificing the natural color temperature of the moonlight.
