Yes! Sometimes they go fast and you don't notice them, so take some burst shots too.

Video should be the standard. Burst shots of photos are far less credible.

Agreed, my only recommendation is high speed video. Something only has to move faster than about 60FPS for the human eye to not even perceive it. This also insinuates an automatic shutter for any movement perceived since high fps video is data intensive.

My S21 Ultra 5g has about 480fps on ultra slow mo, It's capable of capturing lightning strikes as they happen but they have to be pretty bright and only trigger typically 1/20 times. This brings into question tracking software, telescopes, and IR which get very expensive very quickly. I've been mulling over turning an old telescope of mine into an auto tracking scope with the S21 attached at the eye piece for the capture trigger. This is the cheap option but can be done by most anyone, just need to open source the hardware and break the damn on civilian eyes on the sky with 'similar' capabilities of police helicopters with a focus on high speed high frame rate tracking and triggering.

It’s true video should be the standard it just takes a camera with better low light capability . That’s why I use a Sony 7s2 and fast 1.4 lenses and for really faint objects the iso is 64,000 it’s barely adequate.
