ANDROID'S PRO PHOTOGRAPHY MODE and FULL MANUAL CONTROL I have been using my android smartphones for night scape pictures, nightscape timelapses and Milkyway Galaxy
pictures last 4 years because Android Camera app is
allowing you to get full control over phone's all cameras, just
like any other professional digital cameras.
Making "Long Exposure Photography" for up to 30 seconds for each individual cameras on your phone in "PRO MODE" is possible with using a tripod. Besides that you can also take RAW images with Android phones which allows you to even stacking for deep sky astrophotography. Most high end Android Phones manifactured between 2018-2022 will have the Pro Mode in your Google Camera App without needing an additional camera app. Samsung Galaxy s22, Galaxy s22 Ultra, Galaxy s23 Ultra and s23 have the exact same cameras.
IPHONE
I have tried the same with an iphone 13 Pro Max but the problem was, you can't actually use the iphone's camera manually. Everything is calculated with Al and it wont allow you to control your ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture manually even with the night mode. For astrophotography you need to able manually control your ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture Control. I don't know if there is any additional app that gives you full manual control of an iphone camera, that might work too. Please let me know in the comments if you know an additional app for iphone for manual camera use, I would love to give it a try.
CALIBRATION FRAMES I didn't take any calibration frames because I wasn't expecting getting good results on a deep sky object with a phone camera but next time I will take more frames including calibration frames.
Normally, there are 3 Calibration frames that needs to be taken in the field when you are taking your main pictures because temperature matters for digital camera sensors. I will make a detailed video about how to take calibration frames soon but for now you can check this link to learn more about calibration frames in detail:
