I wanted to test what details of the Orion nebula would be visible if only shot by my smartphone. So I took over 600 untracked images with an iPhone Xs and stacked them....
This was shot from a bortle 5 zone. Actually not even a tripod was used, just my phone leaned against my wallet on the roof of my car because I needed the tripod for my real equipment. No lens also.
I wonder what more modern phones can achieve as they have bigger sensors.
My thinking behind this image is that just like in real life people only want to look at a company from far apart to see its shiny surface. But only at a closer look the dirty and shady practices will get revealed....
I think with your equipment you could achieve an even better image, I really can only encourage everyone to try this. It really is an awesome experience
My lens is f2.8. Of course the bigger the aperture the better, but as Andromeda is really bright a slower lens will work just fine. As I‘m only a beginner myself I can recommend the Youtube channel ‚nebula photos‘.
This is the prototype of my dimmer, which actually works quite well. It fades smoothly between different brightness settings. It gets MQTT messages from homebridge, so it can be controlled via Apples Homekit.

Andromeda Galaxy, first try with own basic camera [OC] (feddit.de)
Inspired by many others we tried to capture M31 with our own equipment, an old Fuji camera with a 80mm lens....
