Smartphone cameras have become exponentially more powerful in the recent years. Depending on the model, you can even use manual controls and “pro” features. So, it’s not surprising that many users are curious about how good the results can be for different kinds of photography. That includes technical ones, like astrophotography or Milky Way photography.
