      Bortle Class 2 dark sky location in a remote part of rural Wyoming

      6 second single exposure with an iPhone 14 Pro Max held by hand

      Taken a little after midnight locally

      Minimal processing, contrast and saturation boosted <10% in RAWpower and a bit of denoise applied.

        You have some steady hands… can’t see any tracing on the stars

          Thanks!

          The iPhone does a lot of the work, though. The long exposure mode has some pretty trick gyro compensation algorithms.

    What was the time when you took that image? I was out yesterday at 22:00 UTC, but didn’t see anything, despite good weather conditions. I’m wondering if I was too early.

      It was a little after midnight locally, so 0600 UTC, in a Bortle Class 2 dark sky location.

      It was very much visible with the naked eye, but only after I got someplace properly dark and let my eyes adjust for 20-30 minutes.
