M13 with a smart phone

[Swindan]

wonderful clear skies tonight so had a go at M13 with my smartphone again. can clearly out the main center of the cluster as well as HIP 8184 at the top and HIP 81673 on the bottom left. roughly 10 minuets of exposure over 60 frames ISO 800. amazing what you can get with a phone most people have in their pockets.

That’s a pretty impressive result!

It's a 25mm wide field. No filters. So nothing fancy. Amazing what you can get with even basic stuff.

Really good! The propeller is clear in that one. How many frames stacked for this one, the same?

It was 60 10 second frames again at ISO 800. I think the focus is better this time as well but the main improvement definatly comes from the upgrade in scope size.

How are these done with smartphones, is there an adapter that's recommended?
