Ciaran Meier Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Trapezium nicely split and some nebula detail in that shot. If that's a quick snap with the phone I'd say you've a decent set of optics there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.frankish Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 What would I need to get more colour and it to be bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 1 hour ago, R.frankish said: What would I need to get more colour and it to be bigger Longer exposure (which might be tricky with no tracking), and probably higher mag. You could also try high ISO settings if you use a camera app or Pro mode that allows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 These two are the first one I ever took, using an iPhone 5 in a 4" refractor, quite possibly with an OIII filter looking at the green, and probably my best effort which was with a Samsung S9 in a 7" mak, on a tracking mount. The latest phones have much more sensitive sensors so are worth upgrading to. Huawei and Samsung probably best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigT82 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Latest Samsung update have given us 30 sec exposures in pro mode. S10 and S9 only I think though, not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
