lunator Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I discovered my Mobile phone has a night setting. I have no idea how this setting works, but I decided to see if it would be any good with the scope for imaging. When I went outside the Earthshine on the Moon as beautiful so I thought I'd give the mobile pnone a chance to capture it using the 'night' settings. The lit part of the Moon is very overexposed but the phone did catch some detail of the Earth shine.The second image is of Mare Crisium taken at x133 (9mm ortho) CheersIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 There fine images Ian, the night mode will give you more sensitivty in your camera.ExcellentJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunator Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 James The night mode does make a difference as I could not have got the Earth Shine without it. I don't know if the mode is just a 'chip' thing or if the camera also slows the shutter speed. It may be a bit of both. The mobile doesn;t give you any specs on shutter speed or aperture so it is pure guesswork. CheersIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Ian, i think the night mode increases the gain levels on the Camera may look a little noisier though but simple stacking or use of gauss blur will remedy that Worked for you well!James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
