Haha, that's not the best astro photo I've taken with my phone. It's not even in focus. 😅 Let me dig up another. And yes, I knew that was Andromeda. It's pretty cool that it captured it.

Here are the Northern Lights during the recent Perseid meteor shower with some stars.

Ironically, I couldn't really see the Northern Lights with my own eyes. It was foggy out, and they were very faint, but my phone's astro mode could see them. I even have videos, because the camera app always makes a 1 or 2 second video from the individual images while taking an stacked astro photo.

Here's one that shows the Milky Way pretty well.
