I miss the fish and chips I used to get in England when I was a little boy back in the late 50s and early 60s. Bought from a little hole in the wall place, wrapped in newspaper - those were the days.Proper chips !

That's the biggest iPhone kickstand I've ever seen.
Oh I didn't think about that actually. Thanks! Already seeing some places not far away where I could go.IMHO thats light pollution, there are maps available where you can see how much the cities around you "pollute" the night sky with their lights...
So any suggestions would be more than welcome!
Well, camera shaking and exposure times weren't the issues here, as I used a tripod, allowing for 30s exposure (and although I know some of these photos are made with even longer exposure times, 30s should be sufficient based on several iPhone pictures I've seen). But (light) pollution is indeed an important one. Planning on going someplace later today where there is supposedly less of such pollution, hoping to get some better shots.There are lots of things that can effect star shots:
1. light pollution
2. moisture in the atmosphere
3. Pollution, dust, etc.
4. Camera shake
5. Exposure time
Usually the higher the altitude, the dryer the atmosphere, the farther away from cities the better. So mountains are good. One of the best places on the planet is the Atacama desert in Chile where in some places it hasn't rained, ever. That's why a lot of the worlds biggest telescopes are there.
These shows below (Grand Tetons, Yosemite) were taken years ago on a DSLR and were a lot of work. Tripod, 30 second exposures, multiple shots, photo merges, etc. and took a long time Now you can just all that in seconds on your iPhone. I'm sure others have much better shots, but these were my first attempts. Finally decided it was too much work.
