I have been doing iPhone astrophotography since the beginning of time (which began after I got my first iPhone in 2007; first photo below). Sometimes the results have been amazing. After seeing what the iPhone 5s with the iOS app "NightCap Pro" (now known as "NightCap Camera") could do, I decided to create this iPhone Astrophotography page to showcase some of my iPhone images. There are many other iPhone images on my other Photo album pages. In October 2017 I began doing iPhone 8 Plus imaging of the Messier Catalog objects. You can see those images on my Messier Catalog iPhone Astrophotography album.
