Mobile phone astro photography

[Jimmy Rocket]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience with using there phone for astro photography? Came across a couple of apps which may be of use.

Deep sky camera app 

Spiral cam 2

Both use multiple images used to stack, the latter seems to be able to stack the images but the first one requires a pc based program like registax or something similar.

Forgive me if this a load of rubbish as I know nothing of astro photography lol

Just after your thoughts.

I use Deep Sky Camera in my Huawei P40 Pro. It allows users to take light, dark, flat and bias frames. Then you can stack them in softwares like Deep Sky Stacker. Deep Sky Camera is a really good app for taking astro photos (especially for deep sky) and I highly recommend it!
