Did you know SimplePlanes uses the real stars for the sky at night?

Here's Taurus and the Pleadies, taken on SimplePlanes.

Here are more famous examples:


And yes I swear to God these are from SimplePlanes

If you don't believe me look at this one:

Orion is in to the left and up from my TR-3 Astra

I appreciate just the little attention to detail in the stars, cause most movies, TV shows and video games don't use the actual sky.

    @Speedhunter oh nice, must be a Samsung or pixel phone then, right? I'm sure it would be fine as long as you connected it to SP or atleast gave it the off topic tag

    @AWESOMENESS360 I love astrophotography too.... In fact the phone I play SP on has a dedicated Astrophotography mode in its camera.....

    Would it be okay to post photos of my night sky from time to time as an off topic tho?

    @TheAviator77 'Ery Noice! Sometimes I'll do astrophotography with what little setup I have, other days I'll just be outside with my monocular to do stargazing. It's very nurturing to me.

    @AWESOMENESS360 I have an astronomy nerd side as well!

    I actually noticed this a few years ago! My astronomy nerd side always loves to see if the night sky in games is real, although it'd be nice if you could see things like the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda galaxy in more videogame night skies, because they are visible to the naked eye and are usually just a star in videogame night skies.

    I know where Cassiopeia is, so I wanna be able to see the andromeda galaxy!
