Gestern Abend richtete ich meine Aufmerksamkeit von der Aurora auf das Universum und fing dieses Bild des Ringnebelns. Mit einem iPhone 16+ in Kombination mit meinem Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130 AZ Teleskop machte ich 23 Belichtungen à 1 Sekunde bei einer ISO von 32.000. Die Rohaufnahmen wurden durch AstroShader und Adobe Lightroom verarbeitet – obwohl ich noch mit den Einstellungen experimentiere und dabei lerne.

  2. Wow, dass du den Ringnebel mit einem iPhone und diesem Teleskop eingefangen hast, ist echt beeindruckend! Die 23 Einzelbelichtungen bei ISO 32.000 zu kombinieren, erklärt die erstaunliche Detailtiefe. Ich experimentiere selbst mit meiner alten Spiegelreflex an einem Dobson, aber dein Ergebnis motiviert mich, es mal mit dem Smartphone zu versuchen – hast du spezielle Tipps für die Ausrichtung?

    1. Vielen Dank, und es freut mich, dass dich besonders die Kombination aus den Einzelbelichtungen und dem hohen ISO interessiert! Für die Ausrichtung mit dem Smartphone kann ich empfehlen, erst das Teleskop grob auf das Ziel auszurichten und dann mit einer Halterung wie dem Celestron NexYZ sehr behutsam die finale Positionierung vorzunehmen – am besten testet man das vorher am Mond oder einem hellen Stern. Ich bin gespannt, wie es bei dir mit dem Dobson klappt, berichte doch gerne von deinen Versuchen!

  3. Be careful—the first photo is free, but if you keep it up, you could end up like me with a 24″ Cassegrain telescope and $10,000 in camera gear. It’s an addiction.

  5. The Ring Nebula is an excellent target for both visual observation with a telescope and for astrophotography. You can capture a lot of detail in a single exposure.

  6. I’m trying to capture the Ring Nebula with my Android phone. Do you have any tips for setting up the phone in the holder? I’ve taken several photos of Andromeda, but they all have a large circular eyepiece visible around the edges.

    1. My Samsung S22 had too much smoothing in the Expert RAW camera app, so I couldn’t capture the Andromeda galaxy even under the best lighting conditions. I recently downloaded the MotionCam Pro trial version, which looks much better, but I haven’t had a chance to test it with my telescope yet.

    2. Set up your phone in the adapter before attaching it to the telescope—it’s much easier. I also struggle with centering and haven’t found a perfect solution. I use small items like the lens cap to adjust the distance between the camera and eyepiece, which helps.

      Try downloading the AstroShader app and experiment with its settings while taking pictures. Remember, you’re just learning how the app works, so your photos don’t need to be perfect or even good at first. Focus on discovering what works for you through practice and trying new things.

      1. To center the camera with the mount, I place my phone in the adapter and rotate it to view the camera’s aperture. Then, using the knobs, I align the aperture within the diamond-shaped clamp. I’ve become quite skilled at this step, though I struggle with other aspects.

        Congratulations on your images—number three is especially impressive!

  7. The Ring Nebula is amazing! I recently joined this sub to learn more about telescopes, as I plan to get one for my five-year-old for Christmas and teach him how to use it.

    1. Good luck with your new hobby! Stargazing is truly rewarding. I started about a year ago and learned a lot from beginner astronomy videos and Ed Ting’s content. I monitored Facebook Marketplace closely and eventually found a nearly new 8-inch Dobsonian telescope for $400.

      1. For viewing the Ring Nebula, I’d recommend a 6″ or 8″ Dobsonian telescope. These are excellent for hobbyists, with the 8″ model offering a particularly good balance of weight, price, and viewing quality. Following the advice in this sub’s guidelines and pinned post, I purchased a used 8″ Dobsonian for $400 CAD, which included various eyepieces and a Telrad viewfinder.

      2. A five-year-old is too young to manage a telescope, so it’s something you would handle. I’d suggest continuing to learn together until she’s older. For her first telescope, choose something simple—a small-aperture refractor would be a good option once she’s a bit older.

        1. I’m definitely not going to just set it and forget it. My wife got into astronomy because of me, so this is mainly for us, and something our daughter can grow into. I have no experience and I’m not sure where to start. This sub started appearing because I’ve been searching for beginner telescopes, which seem to get technical quickly. Do you have any suggestions?

    3. Be careful with what telescope you buy. Most decent scopes start around $200–$300. Avoid hobby-killer telescopes—check the subreddit’s sticky for a proper guide. Beware of scopes advertising 500x zoom, as they often can’t deliver that magnification and just crop the image.

        1. Great choice! I highly recommend checking out astrobuysell.com. You might not find a deal before Christmas, but buying second-hand can get you a telescope at a much lower price, and you might even score some free extras.

          2. Check online marketplaces like Craigslist, OfferUp, or Facebook Marketplace. I found someone selling a complete Celestron NexStar 6SE package—including the scope, mount, accessories, and a hard case—for just $50. You might also try garage sales or thrift stores, as people sometimes dispose of telescopes there. CloudyNights is another reliable source to explore.
