Taken in Scarborough, North Yorkshire on 16 December 2017.

My main aim with this image was to show those just starting out in the world of astrophotography what can be achieved on a budget with simple and affordable equipment.  Using my iPhone and the NightCap app set to Star Trails mode I captured this as one image over a period of four hours (hence the number of airplane trails!).  I then edited the image on my iPhone using the Snapseed app to darken the sky and bring out some colour in the star trails. 

I was very pleased with the outcome given that all of this was achieved using only an iPhone and readily available, easy to use apps.

      Star Shape
      By tony_cameraguru
      My equipment consists of: Explorer Scientific 80ED 480mm - Canon 250D astro modded - Field Flattener - UHC filter. The sub shows a close-up of a star, and the reddish hue on the right side that seems to be a common effect on my imagery. This particular star is near the centre of the sub. Can anyone assist me in analysing what may be wrong please?
       
      Thank you. Tony

      Control INDI from your smartphone!
      By marcocipriani01
      Hello everyone,
      I developed an Android app - Telescope.Touch - capable of connecting and controlling INDI/INDIGO devices, for those of you who use Raspberry/Astroberry/StellarMate.
      It's really powerful, and a lot of new features are in the works.
      Features:
      Mobile planetarium derived from the Sky Map project Mount and focuser controller with directional pads and speed controls Receive images from INDI CCDs Database full of objects to which you can point the telescope directly from the app INDI control panel compatible with every device Aladin Sky Atlas preview and altitude graphs Astronomy utilities: polaris hour angle, compass, red flashlight Languages: English, Italian and French. Sky maps are translated in almost every language. It is available on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.marcocipriani01.telescopetouch
      A Pro version is also available, mainly to support the app's development: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.marcocipriani01.telescopetouchpro
      I hope you enjoy it! I'm open to feedback and improvements!
