Dang i missed this i passed out way to early.... hopefully can see this again in my life time
Well, according to the news reports a second wave will be visible this evening. I don’t know how strong or significant it will look, but at least you can check the Internet aurora forecast to see if it’s going to happen again this evening like they mentioned earlier.

Taken with my iPhone 15 pro max with my new Reeflex 2x telephoto lens. That’s the best external lens I have ever used.
Hi, could you please share your settings in Reeflex for taking the picture witht the ISS?
It looks really great!

Sure… I actually used the default iPhone camera in night mode with a Reeflex 2x iPhone external lens attached. I haven’t used the Reeflex apps enough yet to compare. Night mode (30 second exposure) was used here. Other third party apps can’t shoot in night mode yet. The “Even Longer” app is a fantastic app for long exposures but it’s different from apples night mode. I had my iPhone on a tripod so I could get a 30 second exposure, otherwise it would default to 5 seconds. I’m not sure if the ReeFlex apps are capable of capturing images like night mode does. Night mode takes three 10 second exposures and creates a 30” exposure.

That 2x telephoto lens made by ReeFlex is the best I have ever used! I’m very impressed with it. Now I want the skies around here to clear up so I can go out to a dark location and do more astronomy with it… I hope I answered your question well enough. Any other questions?

The exposure time shows 10 seconds, but the iPhone actually exposed for 30”.

Yes, I do. The case is built fairly well. It’s sturdy. I got the carbon fiber model. I have another order on the way for an additional 2X tele converter lens and the 110° wide lens because I have two iPhones that I sometimes use together so, when you purchase the bundle, you save some money. That G series 2X telephoto is the best that I’ve ever seen or used. I’ve tried other brands, , beastgrip, & Shiftcam, none of those are as good as the G series from Reeflex! Although it’s just a plain Jane photo, this image was taken with my 15 Pro max with the G series 2X telephoto, notice how sharp it is and there’s no distortion in the corners. Sharp all the way across and it does fantastic for portrait work. this lens practically lives on my iPhone lol it is a bit heavy. I’ll admit and it does throw your phone off Balance somewhat I usually put my left hand index finger underneath the lens to support the phone when taking horizontal photos. This G series 2X telephoto gives the main wide camera more reach with 48 megapixel resolution and equivalent to a 50mm lens on 35 mm format.
