Re:Phone cameras can take in more light than the human eye by thombat on Wednesday May 29, 2024 @02:51PM (#40515416)
Rather depends upon what you consider "long" to mean. The sun moves about 15 degrees per hour and the angular field of view on a zoomed iPhone 13 shot is about 23 degrees (according to a blog). 12MP resolution so crudely moves about one pixel per second. A ten second exposure is certainly long compared to the light gathering drive by the eye, but a ten pixel elongation of the blob of a bright star won't be very obvious, may be rather less than the smearing caused by atmospheric "seeing"
