Updated my Photos with 130 more :)
Finally after months of wanting to do this , I did it. I organized my photos tiotrom.com/photos/ - added 130 more :) and added a description for them all. Useful I think. These are the most interesting, beautiful, and important photos I have taken.
I will share a handful here.
If you look closely you see the Andromeda Galaxy in this one:
Our Tortuga and the Universe:
I love the colors in this photo, it was a beautiful day (Sasha is the one jumping):
Caminito del Rey:
Tortuga and the Orion Belt:
One of the most amazing caves out there:
Just a lake but I love this photo:
We found a giant bench :)
Sunset in the mountains:
Cares trail in Picos de Europa, the most amazing hike:
Sotres, a super nice village on top of a mountain:
Also the most amazing lookout:
Around that area I took a photo of this baby horse and his mama:
And on top of Picos de Europa:
The ALIEN desert we visited:
And more.... :)
Memories. Wonderful places. And will create more such memories.

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?
videos.trom.tf/w/rYkMsXVAUxCXd…
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 :).

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 :)

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 :)

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:
These are the islands where I live, and the wonderful night sky. You can see the Pleiades in the left top side, and that bright one top center is Jupiter:
4 minutes exposure with Pixel 4A.

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.

The Orion Nebula with a mobile-freaking-phone:
Pixel 4A + Celestron SLT 130, 10mm eyepiece.
My telescope was in auto-tracking mode and the exposure time was 4 minutes with the default Pixel Camera app.
I am astonished by this photo! You can see freaking color! COLOR! I only tuned down the gamma a bit but that's all of the editing I've done. Here is another unedited photo with a 20mm eyepiece:
I was soooo surprised to see this coming out of the phone :D - damn so fucking cool! 1.3 thousand light years away, stars forming.....so beautiful....so mindblowing!

This is so cool! 😍
So you attach your phone to the eyepiece of your telescope, right? Also, could you see this nebula with your naked eyes or did you had to use the 4 minute exposure photography to see it clearly?

Yes. I will do a video about these but basically yes I have a special adapter that connects my phone to the eyepiece of the telescope. Interestingly with the night mode for my phone (the default pixel camera app) you can see this nebula almost like you see it with your naked eye. But ofc not that sharp and clear. So you can see it some, but it is ofc colorless if you look directly at it. And it is nowhere near close to what you see in this photo I took. That's why I love to take these photos because they reveal the invisible.
Also the light pollution makes a massive difference when it comes to seeing such faint objects. This is an interesting article with illustrations about what you can see and how through different telescopes and conditions - deepskywatch.com/Articles/what…

A better shot of the Moon tonight ;)
Again this is taken with a phone, Pixel 4a, through a telescope.
I have a cool video too but I will share it another day.
None of these photos are edited. Straight out of the phone.

Here's a photo I just took with my telescope and my phone:
It is difficult to find the right spot for these kind of photos and tomorrow I'll try to do it better. And I will also record a video (I have one but I will share it when I will do it better) :)
