This was shot from a bortle 5 zone. Actually not even a tripod was used, just my phone leaned against my wallet on the roof of my car because I needed the tripod for my real equipment. No lens also.
I wonder what more modern phones can achieve as they have bigger sensors.
My first try:
Sure, prompt was:
photo of poor young asian female workers in a factory assembling tech products, award winning photography, dirty environment
But the image was quite altered with inpainting as there were many flaws.
Squint your eyes to reveal one of the companies responsible for poor working conditions
My thinking behind this image is that just like in real life people only want to look at a company from far apart to see its shiny surface. But only at a closer look the dirty and shady practices will get revealed.
Created with SD1.5 and QR Code Monsters.
That is still my end goal as well. But it works surprisingly well, but sure it could be more water efficient.

It helps to look at the image from further away. I didn‘t want to make the effect to obvious.

The apple logo is done with controlnet
Thank you, I think there are quite some funny things possible with this effect
My lens is f2.8. Of course the bigger the aperture the better, but as Andromeda is really bright a slower lens will work just fine. As I‘m only a beginner myself I can recommend the Youtube channel ‚nebula photos‘.
I used a Fuji XT2 with a 80mm Fujinon lens. As a mount I used the Star adventerer 2i.
I think with your equipment you could achieve an even better image, I really can only encourage everyone to try this. It really is an awesome experience
Andromeda Galaxy, first try with own basic camera
Inspired by many others we tried to capture M31 with our own equipment, an old Fuji camera with a 80mm lens.
The only additional tool we used for this shot was a cheap used star tracker so we could expand each shot to 20s. We captured a total of 411 shots which leads to a total exposure time of about 2h17m.
For our first try we are very pleased with the result!
Andromeda
First try of shooting Andromeda. The picture is more of an art image as I added a tilt shift effect.
41 x 25s lights 80mm ISO 3200
Did I miss it or has anyone found the link to the patent?
Thanks! Yes, I was quite impressed that we got that much detail with 80mm and on our first try.
Wow cool to hear. I’m new to astrophotography and I use the equipment I have, I was very happy when I got such a good result for the first time trying
Orion's belt and nebula
This is my first ever attempt at an astro image and I thought why not share it here.

I made a controller to dim my lamp through my smart home
This is the prototype of my dimmer, which actually works quite well. It fades smoothly between different brightness settings. It gets MQTT messages from homebridge, so it can be controlled via Apples Homekit.
