The best camera is the one you have with you

My phone camera, or camera phone (the terminology is still debated among my friends) can do 16 second exposures, and I wanted to see if I could capture stars with it. Turns out there was some northern lights as well, though it just looked like light pollution to the eye. Had to push ISO to 800 to get this, as it was pitch black outside.

So yes, it is doable with the -right- phone. :)

Thanks for the comments!

So close to a top ten! Still very nice. :) (Though I suspect your photog's notes are about the interior shot?)
