I’m a nobody using my phone to take the occasional image stack using Google’s “night sight” mode on my Pixel 7 Pro. Out of the 30 or so pictures I’ve taken, one has a Starlink Trail.
Not necessarily a “starlink trail” you took a photo of a satellite, could be starlink could be something else. Also the astrophotography mode on the pixels is purdy cool and fun to mess around with
I saw it with my eyes. It was without a doubt a string of 9 Starlink satellites. If you look closely, the image is a composite of multiple trails in a nearly colinear path.
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.

Wow nice! If this was with the phone on a tripod or generally stationary that might be more than one trail, looks like 3 lines grouped up.
You can also see the Andromeda galaxy above it which is awesome for a phone!

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