Sorry but I don't believe a phones camera can do this. It can't do long exposures.

You can search for the topic GCam/Night Sight on the net. There's a good article from Google somewhere.

Edited: here's a link to read https://ai.googleblog.com/2019/11/astrophotography-with-night-sight-on.html?m=1

GCam app from Google Pixel has been ported to a lot of different phone models.

My stock camera app will do 30s long exposures, you need to upgrade from your Motorola Razr

Why wouldn't phone cameras be able to do long exposures? Some phones legit have astrophotography modes.

Time up upgrade.

I snapped these two on a walk last night with no special anything... just point and shoot.

They aren't cropped, edited, nothing.

Not implying either are wonderful, just pointing out that phone cameras are incredible these days.

There were nearly no visible stars in the second one.

I have the Galaxy S20. I never attempted night photography because I figured it's not even possible on this phone. I don't see any astrophotography or long exposure settings.

I just used the stock Galaxy S22u camera. I think it automatically switches to night mode on the S22U. I can't remember for sure. I also took some with my pixel 7 pro, so I can't remember exactly what I did as far as turning on night mode on each one. The pixel 7 pro pictures sucked though.

Bro it’s 2022… there are phones that can do long exposure shots…

Swipe along to the "more" tab and there should be a "pro" option to manually adjust all camera settings. Don't say its not possible just cause you don't know how to use your phone.

You also managed to catch the head of Taurus the Bull at upper right--the V shaped asterism is the Hyades star cluster, which forms the bull's head. The red star there is Aldebaran, the Eye of the Bull. If you extend the two legs of the V toward the upper left the two bright stars you see are the tips of the bull's horns. The planet Mars is presently hanging out between the tips of the horns; I don't see it in the image.

Betelgeuse is the bright reddish star at Orion's top left (his right shoulder as he's facing us).

Yeah, I know. Just used a short title to point to the area. I posted the annotations link in the comments if anyone's interested in the details.

This Orion picture was taken last winter, so there's no Mars there.

Here's the one of the Taurus's area taken 4 days ago. You can see the Mars is the brightest object at the left/middle (image turned clockwise 90°, so left side is the horizon): https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/ygz50h/october_night_sky

Always disliked Orion's belt personally... what a waist of space

This is just what you see when big space pulls the wool over your eyes. Wake up sheeple!

/s, heh

You must be really far from city and light pollution. Best case scenario I see a Venus nad Moon.

Did you use some app for filtering out night pollution or it is just really good camera?

Bortle class 4 area. Clear moonless night. No pollution filters, just GCam/Night Sight running on the main mobile phone camera sensor (Sony IMX 682).
