This was shot from a bortle 5 zone. Actually not even a tripod was used, just my phone leaned against my wallet on the roof of my car because I needed the tripod for my real equipment. No lens also.

I wonder what more modern phones can achieve as they have bigger sensors.

My first try:

Sure, prompt was:

But the image was quite altered with inpainting as there were many flaws.

That is still my end goal as well. But it works surprisingly well, but sure it could be more water efficient.

Thanks!

It helps to look at the image from further away. I didn‘t want to make the effect to obvious.

Yes exactly

The apple logo is done with controlnet

Thank you, I think there are quite some funny things possible with this effect

Thanks!

My lens is f2.8. Of course the bigger the aperture the better, but as Andromeda is really bright a slower lens will work just fine. As I‘m only a beginner myself I can recommend the Youtube channel ‚nebula photos‘.

I used a Fuji XT2 with a 80mm Fujinon lens. As a mount I used the Star adventerer 2i.

I think with your equipment you could achieve an even better image, I really can only encourage everyone to try this. It really is an awesome experience

Thank you!

Yes exactly. The idea is basically the same as PWM, but in this case the frequency is given through the 50Hz of the power grid. You just control how much of each half wave you turn the light on. As our eyes are slow we just conceive it as an overall lower brightness.

Yes it is a led light bulb working on 230 ac. This works like any other triac phase dimmer, but it was indeed a fun project to try for yourself! Basically I build a another shelly device, but for far less money ;)
