I’m a science teacher who always had a great love and interest for astronomy, but I thought I couldn’t do astrophotography, mostly because I didn’t have the equipment for it. I had the chance to meet with some friends (thanks to Andre Kapitan and Paul Yip) and go on a small trip to capture the stars. Here is what I learned with them: I could take great pictures using my iPhone. So here are some simple tips if you want to try yourself.
Hello. I'm a teacher in Japan. Let me share a picture I took. I captured Deneb at the center along with the surrounding stars. It was shot with the iOS Camera app and edited with the iOS Photos app.
Hi Dr Pat
Thank you so much for sharing this! There is no end to the capacity of this camera and your tips are very helpful.
In the words of Stephen Hawking, “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.”

Those are some great tips for astrophotography. I forgot that you can use the Apple Watch to trigger the shutter on the iPhone; I've been doing the terrible shaky way. Thanks you for the reminder and the tips.
