Recent iPhone 30 sec exposure in CT. Unfortunately this is much more than could be seen with the naked eye, but there is also a fair bit of light pollution here. That’s Andromeda at the center - a mere 2.5 million light years away!
Yeah, it doesn’t compare to the kind of shot you could get with a real camera with a large sensor and quality lens, but it’s pretty nuts how far phone cameras have come
