I took this with my iPhone 11 Pro plus using night mode. I had it set for 10 sec. I had to support it on the wall around my yard to decrease shake.
I also did a little editing using what came with the camera software, to increase the contrast and bring out the stares.
My backyard has a west view, facing the setting sun and the light glow from Phoenix Az. One positive result of this stay at home order is a reduction in the light pollution from the city.
I was impressed by the detail in this photo since the amount of work on my part, was minimal.
Not only is there Venus, the Pleiades, to the upper left in about the 10:00 position, is Taurus the bull and Aldebaran
