How to shoot the galaxy with Nubia z17s

1. Location selection: You need to find a place far away from the urban area to avoid light pollution. Find a suitable foreground. It is best to shoot slightly upward. This can avoid strong light pollution near the horizon and capture more obvious stars at the zenith.

2. Time selection: To avoid sunlight, start shooting almost two hours after sunset and shoot until two hours before sunrise.

You also need to avoid the moonlight. You cannot take pictures on the days near the full moon on the 15th day of the lunar calendar. You can take pictures almost all night on the days near the 1st day of the lunar calendar, just avoid the moon.

Basically I couldn’t sleep the whole night

3. Weather selection: It must be a very clear and cloudless day. Note that it is very cold in the suburbs at night, so take precautions against the cold.

4. Familiarity with the equipment

It is best to understand the principles of the equipment before starting formal shooting< /p>

5. Find the North Star: If you want to capture the effect of stars turning in circles, you need to capture the North Star within the composition range. Polaris is in the true north and can be found through the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia, as shown in the picture:

Auxiliary software: Google Sky Map

Download it to your mobile phone and open the GPS positioning You can quickly find Polaris, as shown in the picture

The brown line is the horizon, the white circle is the star track, and the star track image slowly appears counterclockwise on the screen of the z7 series mobile phone

6. Actual shooting: can be divided into two methods

1. Place the phone directly on the floor and turn on the star track mode to shoot for 3 or 4 hours.

The advantage is that no tripod is required You can get star track pictures

The disadvantage is that the composition is simple

2. Use a stand to shoot and combine it with the Google Starry Sky Map

7. Things to note:

1. The weather is cold and humid late at night, so keep warm. If it is too humid, it is not suitable for shooting

2. Remember to turn on airplane mode. A phone call from a friend may destroy you and keep you awake for several hours. works!

3. It is recommended to add a power bank, as long-term shooting consumes a lot of power.

(In fact, other mobile phones can also take pictures, but it is not as convenient as Nubia)
