Quick Winter Sky iPhone Photo
The iPhone can indeed do wide field night sky photos, like this one
of the popular stretch of sky from Sirius to the Pleiades. The stars are
slightly out of focus, which actually makes them look larger and easier
to see - so it's not a bad effect. This photo was taken with NightCap
Pro using long exposure mode. Doing a 1/2 second exposure helps reduce
the background noise because I believe NightCap is averaging the pixels
to clean it up a bit.
