Photography Asked on August 20, 2021
I have seen multiple photographer to claim they captured milky way photograph using phone but to me it looks like overlayed using Photoshop, is it really possible to capture using phones like poco f1? If yes how?
Yes you can take an image of the milky way with a smartphone, however, due to current limitations of smartphone cameras,it will always result in a limited image. In other words, if your aim is to capture the Milkyway in its full glory, the limitations of a smartphone won't allow you to do so.
Having said that, follow these guidelines, and you should achieve the best the smartphone can offer.
You are now ready to take your first image.
Examine the image, if its sharp but could do with more light, decrease your shutter speed (you can do this all the way until you start seeing trails.) If there are start trails, then you need to increase your shutter speed.
As a final word, this is only the beginning of the capture and the raw file will need to be processed using an image development application such as Lightroom, but that's a separate topic.
Good Luck!

Yes, it is possible, although the result will likely be mediocre. Why?
I had a success imaging Aurora Borealis that is also quite faint. Milky Way is fainter, but I am pretty sure it is doable.
My advice:
Update: I tested my wife's new Huawei P40 Pro a couple days ago, here's what I got with ISO 3200 and 30s of exposure. I had no tripod so I used my sweater to tilt the phone. Those are single shots, no stacking:
Good luck!
