I placed my phone up against a beer can on a picnic table and set it for a 30-second nighttime exposure.

I am sometimes surprised by what it picks up that I cannot necessarily process with my own vision.

This capture absolutely floored me.

I don't think people realize just how much amateur astronomy can be done with almost nothing but a good mobile phone camera.

Awesome, awesome shot. I am truly sad that I live in a dome of light pollution (and a lot of other pollution, for that matter).
