I am not knowledgeable when it comes to photography but I often find myself looking up at the beautiful night sky while out at sea and away from light pollution, and would really like to capture it somehow. Video or photo, either would be swell. The little I know tells me this really isn’t going to be possible on a boat, what with all the rocking. I was just wondering if anybody has any ideas/ camera recommendations or shall I just keep it as a beautiful memory?

As much as I dislike iphones, the night camera capabilities on new models is insane. They stabilize the shot so well that you can take 10s exposures from a boat without issue, and the night sky shots come out great. Although for the price of a new iphone you can probably get a beat up DSLR with a fast (but also beat up) lens, and take your shots the "proper" way. Up to you, really

They have made the new iphone screens that small? 😉

Nah, they made the stabilization and image processing pipeline that good. I strongly dislike Apple products in general but have to give them credit where it's due.
