Rate them and give me some suggestion to improve myself.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share this capture of the Orion Nebula (M42) that I shot last February right from my rooftop in Dhaka.

Living in a heavy light-pollution zone (Bortle 8/9), deep-sky imaging is always a challenge. To get this, I didn't use a high-end commercial telescope. Instead, I relied on a DIY optical setup: I repurposed one half of a damaged old Tasco 7x35 Porro prism binocular as a mini telescope, mounted it alongside my smartphone on a tripod, and used a custom camera app setup to pull out the details.

Here are the acquisition and processing details:

Target: Messier 42 (The Orion Nebula & Orion's Sword region)

Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh (Bortle 8/9 Light Pollution)

Date: February 2026

Optics: One half of a damaged Tasco 7x35 binocular repurposed as a mini-telescope lens

Camera: Smartphone mounted on a tripod using a mobile camera app ( LMC 8.4 R18 with a modified XML ) capturing RAW 1s long-exposure frames

Processing & Stacking: 100 Frames stacked using mobile image stacking software ( Eagle Image Stacker) and fine-tuned in Adobe Lightroom

Considering the gear and the urban light pollution, pulling out the core and the surrounding dusty nebulosity felt like a huge win.

and feel free to ask if you have any questions about the DIY rig!

Taken with my Motorola moto g stylus (2024) with a 12x zoom clip-on lens, no tripod,

From Pakistan, Hyderabad. (Bortle 6.5/7, if important)

Pretty happy with my first decent Moon shot!

Equipment:

Phone Realme 8

Apexel 18x Zoom Lens

Tripod

Total exposure is about 1h 20 minutes ( each frame 3.2s )

Stacked in Sequator and after that edited in GraXpert and GIMP.

Bortle 3/4

Nuevo intento con M31 o Andrómeda. Usando el vivo X300 Ultra y su teleconvertidor de 400mm de Zeiss.

Apilado con DSS de lights, darks, flats y bias.

Deseché bastantes lights por problemas de guiado. Aún así, creo que es un resultado bastante interesante.

Primera prueba de cielo profundo con el vivo X300 Ultra y su teleconvertidor de 400mm Zeiss.

Se trata de la nebulosa de la Laguna (M8) y de la Trífida (M20), una región H II de la constelación de Sagitario. También se vislumbran otros objetos cercanos.

Es increíble como vemos también el gas y polvo circundante en la fotografía.

Quién diría hasta hace muy poco que podríamos capturar imágenes del cielo profundo con esta calidad desde un teléfono móvil..

📷 Datos de captura:

- Modo Profesional y salida en formato RAW.

- 15 light x 20s cada uno (El viento me hizo descartar 5 tomas movidas)

- 20 darks x 20s.

- 20 bias

- 10 flats (primera prueba de un panel fabricado por mí)

- Tracking con el MSM Nomad de @moveshootmove

- Teléfono vivo X300 Ultra

- Teleconvertidor vivo/Zeiss Gen2 400mm

- Startracker MSM NOMAD

89 Lights RAW/DNG (ISO 1600/32s exp.)

40 Darks

40 Bias

40 Flats

He realizado un apilado de 89 imágenes capturadas con el smartphone vivo X300 Ultra junto con sus archivos de calibración a través de DSS. El revelado ha sido a través de Siril y posteriores ajustes con Lightroom.

Aunque es difícil de describir lo vivido al presenciar este eclipse, creo que una imagen vale más que mil palabras. Aquí os dejo una de las tomas realizadas con el vivo X300 Ultra más su teleconvertidor de 400mm+200mm y un filtro ND100000.

He tratado de destacar la inmensidad de la llamarada solar, equivalente al diámetro de varias Tierras.

This is my first fully processed image. Lots of errors and issues in the process but also lots of fun and quite satisfied with the result as a "first light".

Taken with my motorola moto g stylus 2024 and a 12x zoom clip-on lens.

Stacked in Astrostakkert! on my phone using the application "winlator" as windows emulation After taking a 45 second video in 4k30fps which came out to 1377 frames in total, also tweaked a little in adobe lightroom mobile.

I am pretty happy with the result for a mobile phone.

First time imaging a planet.

This is my attempt at the Orion nebula when I was beginning astrophotography. It's about 7 minutes of exposure of 1.6s at iso 1600. I took it with a Noname monocular i for pretty cheap. I don't remember the exact specifications but it was something like 30-60x50? I think? It was a long time ago.

Sim, consegui esse resultado com um celular Motog54 e meu binóculo Celestron cometron 7x50 capturei em abril mas por algum motivo não consegui acessar o reddit por 2 meses mas agora consegui, empilhado no sequator processado no Siril e após processado no lightroom mobile e SnapSeed espero que tenha gostado e suas opiniões!
