Hello everyone! Today is July the 1st, and that means that r/Astro_mobile wants to congratulate the winner of the previous month!

And 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

u/AstrusOne! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Your wonderful shot of M8 and M20 will be our next banner for a whole month.

u/AstrusOne is an owner of Vivo X300 Ultra, what is a dream setup for a smartphone astrophotography!

As a tradition, the word passes to u/AstrusOne:

"I've been involved in the world of mobile phone technology for a long time, and back in 2019 I started doing my first tests with them to see what they could do. With some models, with much smaller and less powerful sensors than now, I managed to take photos with the main sensor where the Milky Way and even M31 or the Andromeda Galaxy were visible. For me, that was already an incredible achievement. Then I moved on to astrophotography with a telescope, and a couple of years ago I started doing tests with the most powerful models of phones, taking pictures of the Milky Way or panoramic views of it. With the release last year of devices with teleconverters from the same brand and Zeiss lenses, I decided to apply the capture and processing techniques usually reserved for telescopes and cameras with powerful telephoto lenses to smartphones, and as you can see, it's looking promising. As a side note, I've built a small flat panel for using these teleconverters."

Thank you very much for that beautiful image! And thank you all for your attention!

See you next time ♥
