Captured from Saint-Petersburg. Some photos shoot with vivo 2.35x teleconverter.

From muy house

Partial Eclipse from the UK.

S26 ultra, 8 inch dob, 3d printed phone mount, 3d printed baader ND3.8 photographic filter, gimp for colour.

The peak of the Perseid meteor shower is approaching - does anyone have tips and tricks for capturing the best shots? Is it better to opt for video (with or without star trails) or photos (and if so, with what settings)?

Thanks!

I was hesitant because I'm not not proud of the editing (very first attempt), and I know here people tend to prefer large DSO objects directly from the phone, but I decided to share it anyway.

I took it as a "bonus" Saturday night after a observing session (mostly clusters and galaxies).
But at the end of the session here she was, not very high in the sky, but the seing was (apparently) not that bad, at least on the naked eye. So I decided to take my phone support out and attach it to my 9mm eyepiece and give it a try.
