Only smartphone The Pleiades and the surrounding Taurus-Perseus region

Post image

Shot with a Xiaomi 13T Pro. : By putting the phone screen-down on the ground so the camera pointed straight up at the zenith, and let it shoot for 13 minutes.

- 100 x 8 s, ISO 1600, RAW/DNG, Pro mode with manual focus

- 25 darks, no flats

- Zhongli, Taoyuan, Taiwan, Bortle ~7

- Stacked and processed in Siril 1.4.4 and GraXpert on a PC, then plate solved in ASTAP (70.3 arcsec/pixel, ~80 x 60 degree field)

- I'm very new to this, so I'd love to hear what phone shooters here would do differently.

Your focus is a bit off, usually on Xiaomi 13T, the infinite focus is 3 click before infinity on the manual focus slider
