I appreciate the apology, things get a bit heated online, I completely understand. Your picture is quite stunning, and I'm saving up for a camera so I can hope to take pictures like it and not rely on my Pixel.

My original look was on hotel wifi and I was unable to load the extensive detail in the image to see just how many stars there truly are visible. ~~If you don't have one already, a star tracker can help get rid of the smear from the earth's rotation, and let you get some longer exposures. I played around with one my roommate bought me for Christmas, but it doesn't make too much of a difference with phone photography.~~ Was looking through your other images and saw you mentioned one :P

Best of luck man, keep taking awesome pictures
