Here are some tips to help you capture stunning photos of the night sky with your Android phone:

Find a Dark Location or Perfect Location*


The first step in taking a good night sky photo is finding a location that is dark enough. Light pollution can greatly affect the quality of your photo, so it is important to find a location that is as dark as possible. This could be a park, a lake, or any other area away from city lights. The darker the location, the more stars you will be able to see in your photo. And I about click these type photo at midnight. 

Use a Tripod or Stable Surface*


One of the biggest challenges when taking a night sky photo is keeping the camera steady for more than about 16 seconds. Even the slightest movement can cause your photo to become blurry. To avoid this, use a tripod or a stable surface like me (😹) to keep your phone steady while taking the photo. If you don’t have a tripod, you can also prop your phone up on a rock or any other stable surface. Don't think without a tripod it's not possible, I click all night photos without a tripod or stand, and I keep my mobile on the surface. 

Adjust Camera Settings  (Pro mode*) 


The default camera settings on most Android phones are not ideal for taking night sky photos. To get the best results, you will need to adjust the pro mode of camera settings manually. Here are the recommended settings for taking a night sky photo with an Android phone:

ISO:*

 800-3200 (If you have you can use 6400 also in heavy dark) 

Shutter speed (S) :*

 4-32 seconds (According to your ISO setting. If you use 3200 (I use this usually), you will need 32 seconds, for 1600, you need 16 seconds. 

Focus (F) :

 keeps In Auto. 
WB: keeps in Auto

Lens Wide:

 Keep Wide (don't use micro or wb) 

These settings may vary depending on the specific phone model and the lighting conditions. Experiment with different settings until you find the right combination that works for you.
Use the side shutter button, if you use it You get 3 seconds for movement of your hand. 
Even the slightest movement of your hand when pressing the shutter button can cause your photo to become blurry. To avoid this, use the side shutter button or if it not working then use a timer or a remote shutter to take the photo. Most Android phones have work in the side shutter button feature that allows you to set a delay before the photo is taken. This will give you enough time to stabilize the camera before the photo is taken. If your phone doesn’t work the side shutter button you can also use a remote shutter app.

Focus on a Bright Object 

(For using manual focus) 
Focusing on the stars can be difficult, especially with the limited capabilities of smartphone cameras. To ensure that your photo is in focus, try focusing on a bright object in the sky, such as the moon or a planet. Once you have focused on the object, lock the focus by tapping and holding on the screen until the AE/AF lock icon appears. This will ensure that the camera maintains focus on the object while taking the photo. But I don't use manual focus, I have been using the autofocus mode from the start.

If don't want now, then ok, let's to our blog. 

Shoot in RAW Format (if you want, Not necessary) 
Shooting in RAW format will give you more control over the final image. This format captures more details and allows you to adjust the exposure, white balance, and other settings in post-processing. Most Android phones now support RAW format, so make sure to enable this option in the camera settings before taking the photo.

Edit the Photo

Once you have taken the photo, it is time to edit it to bring out the best in the image. There are several editing apps available for Android phones that allow you to adjust brightness, contrast, and other settings. Some popular apps include Snapseed, and Lightroom, Usually, I have been using since 2021 Lightroom (LR). Be careful not to overdo the editing, as this can make the image look unnatural and ugly.
