Nice pics... Could've increased the exposure compensation a bit to make them brighter... Cool stuff though

Yeah, it's the best time for startrail. It would be perfect to try on full moon night...
Is it hard to get the Polaris in the frame? Can we just put the camera facing North and get it?
I thought with the help of a compass, I can find the exact line of North and software like Stellarium would help me to find at what degree the north star is located in the sky.
Do not go star trailing on a full moon night. Rather go on the darkest night. It will give you the best shot

I did not have my tripod with me and visibility was poor. Managed to click these in the seconds when it cleared. Thoughts?

It's developed from RAW. Didn't like the softness after applying NR, so left most of the noise untouched to keep the sharpness in the image. I guess one reason for this noise is, it's too contrasty and other is heavily cropped. It's like 1300mm eq. (approx)...

This one really sucks in b/w. So no b/w, in fact the IQ was drastically falling as I start reducing saturation.

Thank you... I don't know, for some reasons I like black and white. Not always, but most of the times. Solely for that reason, I looked for a tool to see everything in my monitor b/w and found one too.
I was expecting somewhere north east...

Planning to give my phone cam a try after seeing the stuff you've all gotten from your phone cams. Suggest a good cam app for android. Camera fv5 is what i have now

Thanks. It was mesmerizing
Yes North East has some exquisite landscapes. Hopefully I will shoot some next time am home.
BTW bought myself a 35mm f/1.8 from amazon

I don't about camera app, but with FV5 you get all manual controls. Why look other place, when you have what you need?
Congrats...BTW bought myself a 35mm f/1.8 from amazon

Just it doesn't have DSLR punch.I thought HDR like things are readily available with your stock OS/app. I vaguely remember seeing it in HTC or in Moto.

Wrapped up the milky way photo shoot. Now the super long processing... Wish if there is any quicker processing available. I will see if I can finish it by tonight, if not I will post the final image tomorrow.I kinda believe it's possible to get milkyway with compact because there were some attempts by hobbyist/photographer with compacts and they did get it. Though not as good as FF or other bigger format.
I have tried to capture milkyway few times before with my compact, but never succeeded in that. In fact, once I thought I did get a glimpse of it but now I am not sure. I have been thinking of trying milkyway photo shoot since March. But due to cloudy sky I couldn't get a chance to try. After months, I see somewhat clear sky and I am gonna try today. Will see if I can get it...
This is the most serious attempt till date. Hoping to get it... Wish me luck
Though it's too faint, I see it. I think it's new feat me getting it with my compact.

Thanks, Yes, with the 18-55 kit lens
I too liked the first one. I am not really a fan of B/W pictures

Give it a try. Who knows you might like your phone came pics.
I never really liked the android cameras on any of 3 android phones, I've got to lay hands on, including a sony one. For that matter, my Nokia still gives me great pictures.

That was the thought. When the S3 came out it had the best cam around. People have a ton of pics on flickr from the S3. Wanted to see if i could shoot like that

It seems like the processing couldn't make it any better than the single frame milky way photograph. I don't know, probably for deepskystacker (DSS) the image my cam produced are not good enough. It just took only 3 out of 30 frames to process and the final image is no good than the single frame. When I pushed it to use more frames, all I got was plain white image. Tried to get some information, there is nothing there. Not even a single star just a plain grainy image. So here is the single frame PPed.
Now I know for sure it's possible with pinhead sensor and now I can try with some confidence.

Actually, it's 1 min exposure. Coz of CHDK it's not showing the right info in exif.
