I started doing astrophotography using a Samsung Galaxy S3 back in the day and I still love a quick little Milky Way shot with any phone and the right settings!
This is a 30 second exposure with an iPhone 13 Pro in Crete, Greece.

Impressive results! What other equipment do you use, a tripod and a remote control?
I propped the phone backwards at an angle against an old chair that I found there and very gently touched the screen button to take the photo, which is awkward because you can't really see it because the display is away from you so that the cameras can point upwards lol.
In hindsight I could've used my watch as a remote shutter but it didn't occur to me then hahah
