Another photo from last night, different tree. The brightest "star" is Jupiter :)

Taken with my phone basically.

Taken now:

With a Pixel 6a. You can see Jupiter in the top center, that bright light. You can also spot the Orion belt right lower side. And left lower side that bright light is Sirus. Lastly see if you can spot Betelgeuse :)

Resharing because of an issue with the original post:

Capturing the core of the Milky Way for the first time! With a phone. - videos.trom.tf/w/h4sbDdKroLKuo…

We let the phone capture the night sky for 8 hours straight and managed to capture the Milky Way for the first time ever!

We also sealed all of our motorhome to protect from water infiltration, and overall spent some 5 amazing nights in this beautiful place, Castillo de Setefilla!

How we do astrophotography with an old phone?

Cerro del Hierro, a very nice place where we stayed for a few days and were able to capture perhaps the most amazing nigthsky timelapse. Us, a bench, and the rest of the universe. And we explain how we do these photos/timelapses.

We were also invaded by goats and Sasha went for a small hike between the beautiful rocks.

Wow I thought my photo of the Moon had some artifacts....it seems no....those are the Pleiades...

Had to zoom in:

Then took my binoculars to get closer:

Not the best quality but still :).

I have added more photos to my gallery here tiotrom.com/photos/

I will share a few here too:

Managed to capture the Milky Way "core" last night, for the first time :)

Made an 8 hours timelapse as well :). Will be part of a future video for our TROMhome channel - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…

All with a Pixel 4a with CalyxOS, gave to me for free by @aaron :)

We took some cool photos tonight :)

We will make a video about this for our TROMhome channel - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome . You can subscribe to get updates :)

Do you see Jupiter? :)

Moon and Mars. A few hours ago :)

With a Pixel 4a and a Celestron SLT 130 telescope. Nothing fancy.

Went to a darkish place in Romania, took a few photos :)

Many bad things to say about Romania, but the nature here is likely amazing. Fucked up society, wonderful world :)

Took this photo 20 minutes ago - my best photo of the Sun!

Taken with Celestron SLT 130 + Pixel 4A

I have added more photos to my gallery :) tiotrom.com/photos/

Here are a few of them:

While kayaking I took this photo. I love how the rock looks like floating on the water.

Holding a 20 million years old spider:

This is the wonderful Moon and the stars:

And the wonderful Sun:

All of the photos are made with a Pixel 4a. And very little tweaks.

Crazy sunspots....took this picture 10 minutes ago:

Tweaked a bit the colors and sharpness. Taken with Pixel 4a and my telescope.

The sun is nuts!

The Moon and Jupiter tonight:

The image is a composite - I took separate photos for each with the telescope and the phone. The original photo looks something like this through the binoculars:

But you can zoom into the first photo and you can even see Jupiter's moons :)

This photo looks fake, but it is not, and it is taken with a mobile phone. Plus I did no editing:

#nightsky #astrophotography #nature #islands #photos

This is the best photo I could take of Saturn...

Only edited a bit the contrast/luminosity. Taken with Pixel 4A and Celestron 130 SLT. I know that people usually take such photos from lots of frames and they stack them together with specialized software, plus do a lot of editing after. Yeah their results are many times better, but for one right now I do not feel like spending hours to edit/create such a photo, and second when is the editing too fake? Too much? If you use special programs to reconstruct pixels on a low quality photo....then is almost like adding bits that are not even there....idk...

At least this sort of photo is one that I enjoy taking by looking at Saturn through my phone's camera live, and taking a brief photo. Then edited it for less than a minute.

This is Jupiter and 4 of its moons at daytime :)

I find it fascinating to see Jupiter when it is daytime. A bit bizarre. And beautiful.
