Go to the Gcam app page, here is about PHOTOGRAPHY.

Nice photo, but it is completely missing.

A stork. Second one is 2x zoom from Gcam.

That sounds about right. Just don't forget to also take dark frames (the same settings and ideally the same number of exposures but with the lens completely covered). You'll also need a dedicated software to later process the images (I've used a free Siril). For even better results you could take separate flat and bias exposures to even further remove the sensor aberrations.

I tried all of that last night with DeepSkyCamera but I didn't figure out how to make the app to focus to infinite, the photos were completely out of focus so i had to use GCam and night sight mode and that was the result.

Hard to name your snaphot as astrophotography.
I used 60 RAWs to get this with my PocoF1:

I processed another version, with the still tree. Final version.

Seriously taken by this cheap phone?

I tried to take 30 raw with DeepSkyCamera but i didn't figure out how to focus the sky, every single raw i took were unfocused, but with GCam in night sight mode everything was focused.

Poco clicks dull af pics. IPhone clicks very colorful and vibrant photos. Now how tf can i get such photos other than editing? Gcam and stock camera both sucks when it comes to colors. Any way to improve

It's a bug. I spoke and reported the bug to Michael, the developer of DSC and he fix it. He sent me the last apk, not on Play yet. If you want the apk to test it, just tell me.
Focus for PocoF1 is at 0.1.
Anyway, you cam use for astrophoto with PocoF1 any other photo app who have manual controls and RAW.

If you can share the apk I'll appreciate it, I think when the developer make the pro version, I'll buy it anyways.

I edited one of the pics with Milky Way and made it more colourful.

 

[gie62001]

I managed to get my version of a part of the Milky Way using pocoF1. I took 30 RAWs each with ISO 800 and 15 s. Stacked together and... look the result. Not bad from a phone camera, IMHO.

Hi,

Awesome night sky pictures. How did you stack those raw files to combine into the results that you got?

Thank you

I'd love to try that version too if possible.

Thank you.

The result is impressive. Looks as if it have been taken through a telescope. At this pace we might even be able to take detailed moon terrain photos from our mobile on earth itself. [emoji1]

By the way, have you added artificial colours yourself or just boosted the natural colors? The green and reddish and orangish tint looks beautiful.

Also can you share the full resolution edited and un edited pic as well? Would like to use it as a wallpaper on my poco f1.

There are many softwares for photo stacking. I used the free one, Deep Sky Stacker.

Just boosted colors from picture after making some changes in white balance of the photo.
When I'll be home I'll try to send you stacked picture unedited. Unfortunatelly I deleted all that 60 RAWs, but I have different TIFs of stacked original RAWs.
PS: I already have it as wallpaper on my Pochito.

If you like astronomy, you can watch my videos taken with different telescopes here: https://www.youtube.com/user/ROursamajor/videos

I also tried to make videos with Poco, but I didn't use my GoTo mount and it was difficult to manage the movement of Jupiter. From that moment I bought an adapter for phone on the eyepiece of the telescope/microscope which will make my life easier for the next photo/video sessions.

Or here, for more astro pics: http://ursamajorro.blogspot.com/

And a single pic with Jupiter... not so good, indeed.

Next time, I will use for videos my Microsoft Studio webcam modified for planetary. Finally, I managed to find an app for Poco who can record videos from external USB webcam. :fingers-crossed:
