Hello!

While shooting with my camera and star tracker, I thought I’d try a Milky Way shot with my phone.

That’s me pointing up!

Single 30 sec shot with a Galaxy S25.

Used my shoe as a tripod, set a 10 second timer and ran to lie down in time lol

I also put my gfs phone on the other shoe with the display unlocked facing us, as a very faint diffuse light so that we appear bright enough in the foreground.

Edited in free mobile Lightroom, just cropped a bit and then played around with contrast, brightness, saturation and denoise. Took the photo in RAW format, if you attempt it yourself this helps a lot during editing.

It’s surprising how much detail you can get out of a phone camera these days…

Feedback appreciated!
