SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I haven’t used it myself, but I’ve seen the app NightCap mentioned often as an effective way for iPhone users to get good meteor photos. A tripod is still required, of course. Here’s a link with detailed instructions: https://www.nightcapcamera.com/meteor-showers/?ez_cid=CLIENT_ID(AMP_ECID_EZOIC) Again, I haven’t used this app personally, so can’t vouch for it, but it seems to get good reviews and I’ve seen it mentioned in several articles on photographing meteor showers using a smartphone.

JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Awesome pics @canuktravella, is that a drone moving across the lake? On a side note has anyone ever used the night sky app? Whenever I'm out and I want to know what I'm looking at I whip it out. It even tracks satellites and the ISS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
