Good rule of thumb is to use the self-timer to eliminate any chance of camera shake after pressing the shutter button. 5 seconds is good for the timer.

I didn't notice but it's good to mention, even in PRO mode, some smartphones don't change the format image from JPEG to RAW, so it's really important to make this change on camera settings, for a better edition on LR or PS 👍👍
I wish for good captures for all

I wanted to comment this a long time ago, but I think this is the best time to say it.
Thanks to this video I had the courage to start my astrophotography journey.
Thanks to you and your effort, I have already more than a year of astrophotography experience, and I am already so far from what I've started.
This video gave me the final push, the final inspiration to get started, simply with my phone, and a vase as a tripod.
Anyways, if someone will read this, just know that if you want to start doing something in astronomy, for it to become your hobbie, start now, just with your phone, and if you will get curious, your urge to get better results and learn will increase with every project.
You will never stop learning and improving after that, thank you so much, JL Adv.

I wanted to watch the video to see what my new phone can do with its camera but by an interesting coincidence I am also using poco x3 pro. I didn't think my phone could capture such images, but I was very happy when I read that it was shot with poco x3 in the description. It's also very nice of you to share how to edit the photo. It's like a tutorial made just for me. Congratulations.

You can use 64mp mode for better details :)
Btw the best mobile photography tutorial.

Why did I just get white screen after shooting ? My phone is Samsung S21. I did pro camera settings you indicate.

Great tutorial! Sadly, My phones longest exposure is only 8 seconds and the amount of light pollution in my area is just too much to see the Galatic Center.

[escanorsama]

Everything will be easier with tripod which I don't have lol

[glaurung]

I would recommend to use shutter timer as well, set for 10 seconds to avoid vibration after you push the trigger

This tutorial is way to good! Makes me want to try it tonight🤩

[desiastronaut]

Please help. I did all of it clearly.. Yet I am getting white pictures.. Pure white. Can i know why?

[kronigen]

Does using the ultra-wide lens make any difference? I mean technically the bigger the FOV, the greater the light gathering power right?

[ARCDD]

The results make me say ' wow, 😍 " .

Good for beginner, I'm going to start to learn it!
