I can’t tell you how many awesome scenes I’ve seen while backpacking through other countries only to not be able to capture it with an iPhone or a simple compact camera. Hell, just to be able to take a quick photo of a moonrise without notice or perpetration.

You're as always doing a great job!

I will consider getting the S23 Ultra, when they support full lens resolution on the main lens, for raw mode/astro mode. Just imagine the amount of detail we could capture, when the 10 Minute exposure astro photos came out in 108MP.

Then the individual pixels would be to insensitive to light to take a decent picture, because they're so small. You can already see this if you compare nighttime street pictures with those of e.g. an iPhone 14. You'd have to increase your ISO to an ungodly amount and loose all the detail. Or you just wait a lot longer. And at that point you'd be better of buying a decent used DSLR with 24 MP and a cheap telephoto lens. You'd even pay a lot less. And would still have your phone for other occasions.

From what I have gathered, the S23 Line up is something like this. - I have stayed on top of the twitter leaks for a while now so please fact check where you have scepticism in the replies. - there is a lot of information to digest below • Official Galaxy Unpacked is on February 1st 2023 Galaxy s23 | 8gb ram + 256G + 512G (no 1T option) | 6.1" | 48 - 120 Hz display | 3,900mAh Galaxy s23+ | 8gb ram + 256G + 512G (no 1T option) | 6.6" | 48 - 120 Hz display | 4,700mAh Galaxy s23 Ultra | 12gb ram + 256G + 512G +1T | 6.8" | 1 - 120 Hz display | 5,000mAh The s23 Ultra screen will be less curved The s23 and s23+ will have +200mAh bigger batteries ( display sizes remain unchanged ) If there is truth to Ahmed Qwaidars tweet about there being no 128G version then this is a big win for smartphone consumers and hopefully over smartphone manufacturers will follow suit in not making a 128G version. I believe there will still be 128G storage options however for very few countries as Ahmed Qwaidar updates his tweet. • Specifications S23 Line up will receive an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen2 Chip ( No use of Samsung-manufactured Exynos Chips till 2025 ) Samsung's overclocked snapdragon 8 gen2 chip beats A16 in GPU tests but not in CPU tests.

Hi and thanks for sharing this. I was able to DL that program on my standard S22 and it does have the Astro mode. I wonder if you had not included the horizon, if the software would have been able to blend the stars better?

Brent, your videos are absolutely phenomenal. I have an S22 Ultra, and the astro photos that are taken using both Pro Mode and Expert Raw are just unimaginably clear, especially considering how small the sensor is. Add to that this new Astro Mode, and my photos have been on a whole new level. My question, though, is with the phone's processors. S22 Ultra was manufactured with two available options for processors, Exynos and Snapdragon. I've watched content on KZread comparing the two, and the difference was astonishing, especially in low light settings. I have the Snapdragon in mine. Do you know which sensor is in your S22? Thank you so much for all of your content, and I'm working on putting together a video now showcasing some of the shots that my phone has taken. The encouragement and education that your videos contain have been pivotal for me with both photography and content creation. I'm looking forward to your future releases, especially an update with the S22.

Nope, just a tripod.

about astro, imo the only really useful lens is the "W", according to my tests. Also don't expect too much from the raws, the data captured is pretty limited. So, i guess it can be interesting maybe amazing, if you are in a dark skies place and want to do a milky way photo. Specially for people without other kind of equipment than a phone and a tripod, or maybe just the phone and somewhere to place it still or people with no skills in the matter.

4:30 wow. 🤩

Just like you said, this is a or the gateway! Back in October, while camping, I viewed how to do a 30-second exposure with my 22 ultra. It was so cool, but there was a lot of noise. Last month, I bought an 8" dobsonian and have used it several times, viewing the moon and planets. I got my old Sony a500 out, got a t-ring for it, and some Moon filters and can't wait to be able to play around with that when I'm back home. But coming across this video and armed with some more knowledge. I'll be looking forward to trying to get some more shots with my phone back up in the camping spot. Thanks for this video. Now I'll have to go veiw what else you've done.

it will be nice if you give a pixel phone camera comparison in astro mode.

This is certainly a great way to get into astrophotography. You have to start somewhere, right?

Is there any lenses you can attach the S22 ultra to?

Can you do a time lapse with this app?

I have a full astro kit, but just got the S23. Going to toss it on my track and really see what I can do. With out a tracker you can stack dozens of 15 sec shots and get good results,

I can't wait until you try the new s23 Ultra

Good video, might I suggest using the S pen on the 22 Ultra for the shutter button? I know this is how I'm lining up my shots and taking the images without having to touch the camera or tripod. I have some really great shots of the moon and stars that I have taken on this camera without using this mode. I find that adjusting the exposure to the highest setting allows me to see where I have the shot lined up. I have been trying to capture a comet this past month, but getting it to show up clearly has been extremely difficult. If you have any suggestions on this I would greatly appreciate it.

At the time of filming, which was right after this feature came out, the ar overlay wasn't working on my phone. I actually filmed a whole bit about it that night but took it out of the edit because the video was already getting too long.

Took about 200 5 sec images of Orion with my Sony Xperia 5 ii 2 year old phone stacked them together manually and it looks way better and yes with the telephoto equivalent of a 70mm but everything had to be manual that Samsung app is impressive but can't compete with real astrophotography

If the camera in astro mode states "hold the camera steady" and it can stack multiple shots successfully why can't it stack them perfectly without stretching the stars when the camera is on a tripod with no random movement?

Hello Sir. I am your huge fan. I don't know if you'll see this msg but you might know the phone Vivo X70 pro plus. I just wanted to request you to do some astrophotography from that phone.

The image of Orion nebula I produced a few weeks ago by stacking 200 RAWs captured using S20 FE 5G was way better in terms of colour & clarity. Of course it was somewhat blurry, but a lot more clear than the one achieved by the Astrophotography mode of S22U. It definitely needs more work.

Oooh, that's a really tough question to answer, especially since I know nothing about you or your budget situation, preferences, shooting needs, etc. Both the 1-4 and 800 combined are still way cheaper than the 1-5. If that's not an issue, then yes, IMO the 1-5 is hands down a better lens than both of those other 2. It's obviously not quite as versatile, given the other 2 combined give you a greater range, but at the cost of slower apertures, having to change lenses, and neither being weather-sealed.

It might be considered a bit overkill for a phone, but it definitely works for it. There might be some smaller ones out there, but this is the only one I've used. Actually, now that I think of it, the Miops Capsule 360 that I use for timelapses, has a built-in star tracker mode in their app. I don't think I tried it, but I remember seeing it. It's not a real or dedicated star tracker, and I think it's about the same price, but it's way smaller and lighter and easier to set up. There may be other devices out there with similar features, but I don't know of any off-hand.
