Anthony Robinson ran the Smartphone Astrophotographer of the Year competition — the only competition of its kind.
He reviewed hundreds of real entries from phone shooters around the world.
His finding: the best shots didn't come from the most expensive phones. They came from people who knew a simple, repeatable set of techniques.
This course is those techniques, condensed into 25 short lessons.
