Something different. I have always been in to astrophotography but never attempted. I saw where you can adjust the exposure time out to 30 secs in the native Camera app if the phone is stabilized. So I set it up on a chair in my back yard just to see what I could get. I unfortunately live around some street lights so there is some ambient light coming through but this was the result out of my 13 Pro. Probably one of the few times in my life I’ve seen the Milky Way! Now I want to use a DSLR and go to the top of one of the many mountains around here. View attachment 1906426
Beautiful!
I am not into astro-photography like that, just photographing the Auroras. I would suggest to search for at "youtube", "cameras for astro photography." You will be surprised at the number of cameras you can use for astro photography (some may be the regular relatively inexpensive cameras, while others are expensive). By the way the best are not the usual cameras with a rectangular body and lens mounts. These cameras are tubular in shape and mount directly on the telescope.

I saw pictures of pink ones: how rare are those pink auroras ?
