Hope this low effort post is accepted, I just wanted to share my first image when I started.

There was no telescope or tracker used, just a smartphone leaned against my wallet.

Images:

  • ~400 x 1s
  • ISO 3200

Editing:

  • stacking/ stretching in Siril
  • GraXpert for gradient and denoising
  • BlurXTerminator for deconvolution
  • Starnett++ to edit the barely visible nebula a bit better
  • final editing in Photoshop

    Damn bruh, this is a tremendous shot with just an iPhone. Orion is truly spectacular. Note, the 2nd “star” in his sword is actually the Orion Nebula. Fucking 10/10.

      Ha thanks, didn’t expect such nice comments for such a bad image. Yes I also was blown away that the nebula is barely noticeable, even with smartphones strong IR filters
