S20 Ultra vs Note 20 Ultra Milkyway Test (Astrophotography Tips Included!)

[@robmulally]

Still getting used to making videos always trying to improve so thanks for being part that journey 🙏🥰

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Would love to be shooting Astro right now but will have to wait until it warms up a bit here in Europe... Love your work mate

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Also this video is major key! Learning so much from this. Keen to test it out next time I'm travelling. Thanks brother

[@robmulally]

thanks mate! loving watching your adventures.

[@adaada7318]

its impossible to find a dark spot in Europe...I tried many times but there is always some sort of light source

[@dylanzchen]

Great idea with the reverse iso / settings to get a preview of the composition definitely stealing that idea when I go out next

[@robmulally]

its a great battery saver and useful on any camera!

[@jmudd2010]

Rob, thank you. Very enlightening.

[@ahmadmn9]

Loved the video! And to answer your question, I have tried astrophotography using my phone (S20+) but I failed miserably due to how windy it was and how the tripod I wss using wouldn't stay still, but I still managed to get a few good pics, so it wasn't all for nothing, I did learn a lot from this video and I'm gonna use these tips the next time I go somewhere dark, keep it up!

[@robmulally]

Ahh cool! I was lucky the first time i tried except the moon was a bad. How are you finding the best location for the milky way or you just trying to get lucky when camping etc?

[@Beyond_Slots]

Loved this clip beautiful shots!

[@robmulally]

Thanks a lot!

Great stuff, mate! Always love your astro tips!

The whole video was informational and spot on..thanks man..

[@Jonnyrocket51]

Thanks Rob for the great video! I'll be using a note 20 ultra on the next clear night. Not easy to do in Washington state.

[@robmulally]

I can imagine, only go out if it's safe etc you allowed to visit any national parks?

[@Jonnyrocket51]

@@robmulally yes we are. Definitely too much light pollution here.

[@MOZLEY]

Perfect that was very helpful. If you can post a detailed video of the photo editing that'd be awesome 👌 thanks

[@robmulally]

ok! i'll add that to my list of videos to make! thanks for the suggestion!

[@rebeccaware3955]

I order a s21 ultra and can’t wait to try astrophotography. Great video. Thank you

[@bmoesq]

I tried some astro with my S20 Ultra and used lightroom to edit, managed to capture a couple of shooting stars of the geminid meteor shower, so that's already success for me, only downside is that i missed the focus in some of the pics, next time i will try 2 stops from the end, and you mentioned in the video, my wife and sister in law were using the galaxy S10+ and S9+ so i did a comparison between the three phones that i posted in reddit, but the bigger sensor on the S20U really makes a difference!

[@robmulally]

Ahh nice! Yeah how did you have the focus set? right at the end? Its a tricky one and I think I got it wrong even in my official video.

[@bmoesq]

@@robmulally exactly like that, right at the end

[@robmulally]

I would do a studio tour but, you are looking at it haha :)

[@Lt_dangle]

Looking forward in seeing the S21ultra for your review in Astro photography when it comes out

[@franfranzai]

I tried it on both s20 ultra and p40 pro plus, the colors on the s20 ultra were more accurate and better I think it has to do with the rgb and ryyb sensors, and now I'm switching from p40 pro plus to s21 ultra. Where can I share the pics with u??

[@thelisanalgaib9702]

I've only shot star/milky way once with my S20 Ultra. it was after I watched a video from another KZbinr about it. I did my very first night hike ever! up Mt. Morgan (NH USA) and got some incredible sunset shots, then stuck around for the stars. Played with settings and finally arrived with some shots I liked, unfortunately there was considerable light pollution from some of the cities near Lake Winnipesaukee. I used a free raw converter online (forgot which) before a guy I was helping at work mentioned using Lightroom mobile which is now installed. I'd like to go up in the winter right now and get some of the Orion Cluster but the weather & moon aren't cooperating, also cell phones die in very cold temps. I set up the phone to take pics on verbal command: "capture" so I wouldn't be touching the phone. do you think the S21 Ultra is superior to the S20 Ultra? I'd think it'd be great for a tutorial on how to use Lightroom Mobile.

You're in Sydney? So rare to find Australian youtubers, that are in Sydney. Saw your reddit post, inspired me to take photos like this

[@robmulally]

Yeah! You shooting too? What kind of photos?

[@Sydnxt]

@@robmulally Painfully average photos of, anything, really. Usually landscapes. My Instagram is also Sydnxt if you wanted to check it out. I really want to get in astrophotography though. So so cool.

[@teaganbryce555]

P30 pro I tried every setting sometimes just nothing trying to shoot milky way but always failed. There are lights around

[@robmulally]

Light pollution is bad especially if the atmosphere is thick or the moon is up.! Did you get any stars? Did you shoot manually?

[@teaganbryce555]

@@robmulally I tried shooting using manual mode in everything even in pro mode. I did shoot stars. There is no moon if I'm trying the milky the prob is the light of the neighborhood

[@wahidrasooly8921]

I really loved it. I hope one day buy s21 or 22 as coming up next year then start shooting milkey way😀

[@youceflakehal6275]

Thanks

[@Rogue66669]

Can you do a star trail video please with the s21 ultra

[@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo]

This is a really good video. But for some reason in some parts of the video, it almost looks like you're background is a green screen with the back lighting on your head? Maybe I'm just imagining it. But great video, I subscribed!

[@robmulally]

Oh Cheers yeah I had an LED behind me to add some light I'll have a look at it again. Tbh i. Filmed this 4 times and at this point it was 2am and I was getting tired so I probably didn't notice mistakes so I really appreciate you letting me know.

@@robmulally I started doing astrophotography with this phone last summer. I bought a telescope earlier and was wanting to take some pictures. It's a learning curve. I take regular pictures as well.

Tips: Note 20 Ultra has a Spen right? So when you're taking a Astrophotography use that Spen to remotely control your Camera.

[@robmulally]

That's right!

[@briangarcia2321]

Hey so I have a note 10 plus and since my phone has the dual aperture I'm able to change the aperture from 2.4fp to 1.8fp. And I have shot a lot of photos of the stars. I've gone to the beach to take photos of the stars and I added some light painting with my older sister and brother in law. I really want to learn more tips and tricks from you to be able to take photos of the milky way. I usually set up my shutter at 30sec and my ISO in between 80-125. But I've noticed that you set up your ISO really high, why is that don't you get a very white and ugly photo? Please teach me more about astrophotography bc soon I will be upgrading my phone to either the s21 ultra or the Note 20 ultra

[@robmulally]

There was a big(main) sensor update between the note 10 and I think the s20 so I think that will contribute to it! You may have heard of it the pixel binning tech I've mentioned in a few videos. The 108 mpixels are used in sets of 9 to give a 12mp photo. But don't fear! All the hard work you have done practing will just get easier on the new phones or a camera!

[@jessiebirax9152]

very impressive video

[@Faxthechannel]

I managed to take a picture of the Milky Way ( kind of) with the s20 plus, it was pretty good actually, I edited it with photoshop express on my phone, if you want you can look at this and I hope you can give me an advice 💪🔥

[@Faxthechannel]

Also I wanted to tell that you can enable voice control to shoot a photo without even touching the phone!

[@robmulally]

yeah! thanks using the 2 sec count down is my preference i feel funny talking to my phone. but i'm going to try it!
