S22 Ultra astrophotography. Taking photos of the stars with the Samsung S22ultra

In this video we will be doing a Samsung s22 ultra camera test in very low light conditions. On this channel we have recently done lots of iPhone 13 Pro Max camera testing and in this video we will do a s22 ultra camera test when we photograph the stars in our very clear night skies. There are lots of tests that can be done with new phones, but with very low light photography, that is, astrophotography with your phone, its the ultimate Samsung s22 ultra camera test

That's insane detail for a phone camera. Blows my mind

[@ShayneMostyn]

Yep, its crazy how good these modern phone cameras are.

[@marcochavane3124]

Almost as insane as their trade in deals too. I paid less than $500 for my unlocked 512GB model with free Galaxy Buds Pro too.

[@elias-pv9uh]

@@marcochavane3124 how I paid 1300$

[@NateBraska]

@@elias-pv9uh he said with trade, that's the key. Samsung recently had a trade the S21 Ultra for $1000 off S22 Ultra. IMHO people saying "I only paid $xxx" often overly downplay the trade in or the value of the trade in otherwise ("LoOk HoW GoOd Of A DeAl I GoT"). For example, the S21 Ultra is still like $600-$700 on Swappa used, so someone who paid $500 plus trading in an S22 Ultra really paid $1100+ net

[@AnupomAG]

Being able to do astrophotography on a phone is one of the mind blowing thing I've ever found. I mean just 6 years ago it was crazy to think that just smartphone camera could be so much capable. Since last 3 years I've astrophotography on a lot of phones and even budget phones are quite good. But there's a huge problem I've found which is light pollution. It's literally everywhere. Normally with a DSLR you can manually adjust a lot of things and get a decent pic but the light just always get's in the way on phone astrophotography. So you need to find a really good spot.

[@ShayneMostyn]

Finding a location with this is the most important part mate for sure.

[@Richard_GIS]

I really like that kind of videos, watching and supporting you (member) since the s21u phone came out - love the astrophotography since then because of you making it so simple to follow along ;-)

Excellent video tutorial Shayne. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 13 pro. I have been shooting astrophotography with my DSLR for a little over a year and use light room for my RAW image editing. I have watched several of your videos and decided to subscribe to your channel. You have really helped me get the most out of my astrophotography using just my phone camera. Looking forward to learning more tips from you, just wish I had less light pollution where I live.

[@chrinamint]

Just bought this phone and so I was looking for videos about it and came across yours. Very inspiring! And in fact you inspired me to get in the car and go out and take some night photos. I didn't do any star photography ( I do plan to do that later) but at this point I wanted to get some city sites. We have a statue here in my city and it's lit up at night. Well I found that every photo I took even in every different mode to try to get the best thing every single one the light of the statue was too much. Looking at it just with my eyes everything was perfect the light on the statue was mild and the colors that were at the bottom looked awesome and everything. But through the camera every single photo I took the light was just one big blobby too-bright mess and you couldn't even make out that there were colors at the bottom. So I went around and I saw that it happened every single time I tried to take a picture at night of something that is lit up. What would you suggest for that? I tried night mode, pro, without anything.. I just couldn't find the right combination to get what I was actually seeing to be in the photo. And editing it didn't give me any good results either. Sad day.

[@ShayneMostyn]

Its difficult to answer without seeing it mate. Are you in the facebook group? You can post the images there and we will be able to suggest things.

You should a) use some kind of tracker (I'm using the nano.tracker for mobile phone Astro stuff) and b) use the pen to start the imaging (it doubles as shutter remote). But overall, well done. :)

I have thought about the tracker. Its something that I may still do in the future. I just need to find the right one that people can buy. The one you mentioned doesnt look like its made any longer.

Now I've gotten this phone and was attempting to get a photo through my telescope and I am so incredibly frustrated.

Expert RAW uses multi frame capture. You want pro mode with RAW in the regular camera app for unprocessed RAW photos. Both are useful in different situations, just kinda depends on what you're doing. Oh and you can use both telephoto lenses for either as well. Managed to capture Orion Nebula and the seven sisters with it, although the 10x lens captures a lot less light ofc.

Yes, for astro stuff I would stay with the regular wide camera, with its lower f-stop. Thanks mate
