    I’m honestly confused what they can get with shitty, massively processed smartphone sensors at low zoom. I understand the premise of stuff like radio telescopes distributed over a large area, but the quality of cell phone cameras just isn’t that high for anything at any kind of distance.

    Even with my Canon 5D Mk3, with a 500m lens multiplied to 1000mm by a teleconverter, and a solar film to manage how insanely powerful the sun is, the quality just isn’t that high:

    I’m not seeing what a few hundred heavily processed pixels tell you even if you have a lot of samples.
