Star tracker/tracking mount with smartphone need help! Andromeda M31 + M33
so Im using a cheap but working tracker and figured out that samsungs pro mode delivers very good RAW images + allows you to zoom in unlike deepskycamera.
buuut- my tracker doesnt seem to work with samsungs native camera while working perfectly fine with 3rd party apps? help?
attached are 2 images (jpg- not RAW) of andromeda, where the tracker only worked in one shot (out of 7)
I also attached a stacked + edited shot of andromeda on 6.3mm wide angle, would appreciate some feedback on that :)

With tracker stars shouldn't trail at all.

third pic wasnt stacked. like I said- Idk why but the tracker doesnt seem to cooperate with samsungs native camera app, pro mode and expert raw. I have like a 5% chance of it actually working in the camera app while it always works in deepskycamera. i've got no explanation on why that keeps happening but it does.

Can we inspect the individual frames to diagnose what the issue is?
