S22 pictures..show us what you got!

Hard to capture everything in rhe same settings post editing twice and get the same result. At first I wasn't pleased with these results tonight but they grew on me. I'm thinking if I can get somewhere with limited light pollution and a lower horizon I may get some better results.

My neighbor caught me and thought I was up to something in the dark till I showed him what I was doing lol. Was on my land but for some reason he felt the need to still say something.

Did you use a tripod? These are amazing. Everyone uses their spotlights in my neighborhood and creates too much ambient lighting even though we don't have many streetlights. Great captures.

I started to but my tripod I ordered is cheap and won't stand still or hols the phone holder in place it will either totally fall over or the weight of the phone will make the phone holder loosen from the swivel and point at the ground.

Had to go to several places in my back yard to do multiple takes with my phone propped up at an angle against a box.
 
On July 4th.

Sky put on quite a display with a setting sun and post-thunderstorm clearing

Cotton candy skies and moon yesterday.

Full moon from June 14th. Didn't realize I could zoom in the photo and blow up the image until I saw the icon in the bottom left corner and wondered what it would do. Surprisingly didn't cost too much detail. Continuing to learn new things about this camera even though it's been two months since first getting a S22(counting the defective unit)

Wow! Phenomenal!
 
Someone pointed out to me not only did I get the Milky way, but I got Scorpius and part of Sagittarius as well. They saw my pic in a FB post and made the edits to point it out. Really neat.

Unfortunately though I'm not sure if I knocked my focus off or damaged my phone, but after a 7 foot drop onto the ground from my porch railing onto grass, it won't focus in pro mode now :( still cool to get some good shots before that though. Used a screenshot from the Stellarium app to show where Scorpius is positioned relative to my location.

My niece and nephew's grand parents bought this monster for them. That's how we spent 4th of July. They had a blast.
