(Yeah, I dunno any 'bout photography, so you can keep such comments to yourself)
What could I do in order to take images of stars in a clear night sky with a simple smart phone?
I've tried with a Galaxy Tab, but all its images are really just black.
All I need is to at least dimly make out a couple of the brightest stars (I just want to identify their relative position in the sky, no cosmetics involved, just for "navigation" purposes). I actually can see a couple of the stars as dots on the screen when I take the shot. But there's nothing on the image it produces, even as I export it to PC to study it much closer.
Is it maybe the JPEG-format that "evens out" star blimps to nothingness?
If so, is it possible to capture image data in an earlier stage, way before it gets JPEG:ed?
Or is it already optically hopeless to catch a couple of stars on a picture with a phone cam?
Your thoughts on the subject are welcome!
