Long star trails taken with iPhone, stacked on a computer |
These are the longest star trails I've taken using my iPhone 5 as a night sky camera. 300 images taken with Night Cap app for iPhone ( ), stacked using StarStaX software. Each 1 sec, ISO 3200, 15 sec apart.
There are ways to stack the layers using native apps, but it's too painful to talk about. With 300 frames, a good piece of stacking software is a must - even if it's an iPhoneography faux pas.
My baggy technique kept the phone from getting too cold, and when I ended my session the battery was only at 66%. I could have gone a lot further, but I have to work in the morning.
