I’ve found a second shot that is insane (in my optinion) for this tiny hardware and a freehand shot. First I thought there were some dither clouds or “fluffy” colors, but after my second inspection I’m nearly sure, that you can really see a part of the milky way. At least the approach of it.

It is amazing that there is really a lot of light pollution because I am between a civil and military used airport.

But this makes this picture much more impressive. I used nothing more than my iPhone16 Pro and 10 seconds of exposure time in night shooting mode, standard zoom, because in the setting, the light output in the shots is significantly higher (software!) than in zoom mode. I can’t say exactly if the telephoto lens swallows so much light or simply put more pictures on top of each other in standard mode by the software. But I like the result as much as I liked the other.

I didn’t use KI or any correction. Its the „raw“ jpeg out of the photo app. Next, i’ll tryto get Better, Results by using a Stand and Remote and more than one single Shot.

I have added a version optimised by Jimmy (Gemini) that should look like a „Hasselblyat“ or as „Astro Project“. Only as a direct comparison.

I marked it as AI because AI pictures are included and chagpt says I AHave to mark it. But it’s about the ai free content. If no one looks at it, I amunlucky

I‘m really impressed how much stars I can see on the pictures made with my iPhone 16 Pro.
It’s definitely more that I can see with my own eyes. But the light pollution is massive. It’s because there are a military airport in the back behind the trees…
And I know its not the best quality. But nevertheless, I kind of like this photo…

I recently discovered an intriguing rock specimen in a sandpit near Hanover, Germany. Due to my limited knowledge of this specific type of rock, I am uncertain whether it requires further preparation, such as sanding, or should be left in its natural state.

The specimen is quite fascinating; it resembles an agate, possibly containing jasper-like minerals. The circular structures not filled with quartz in the center appear to be small geodes.

As I asked the owner of the sandpit if the stones were found in that pit, he answered that it is Rhine gravel. In addition to my specimen, I also found a completely rounded oyster shell on the same pile. This shows clear traces of long fluvial transport, which strengthens my assumption that this is indeed Rhine gravel, which was brought into the pit from a different geological context.

On the narrow, dirty side, I have already started to grind the base so that it stands upright, and I am quite pleased with the result as it reveals the internal structures.

I would be grateful for any insights or assistance you may provide, as I am eager to avoid any potential damage to this specimen. Does the appearance support the origin as Rhine gravel?"
