Taken at f9 and 1/250th of a second exposure

I’m pretty happy with this, hopefully I’ll be able to get a higher res one in the future.

    Moon photos are the best. I’ve been playing around with a couple from my balcony

    f5.6, 1/400th of a second at 500mm on a Nikon Z6

      That’s a crispy shot for sure

      I’m hoping in a few weeks I’ll be able to get some nice crescent moon shots as those are my favorite

    I managed to get a similar shot with my phone. Yours has a ton more detail though. Seeing Jupiter right next to the moon was nuts. It’s not visible in this photo though.

    I’m using an S22 Ultra. I’m seeing people suggest that some phones use post processing to fake the image. So that’s unfortunate.

      What phone was this taken with? Because some phones have a “moon mode” where they replace the actual moon with an image that’s far better than what the actual camera sensor of the phone would be able to capture.

      How do people take such clear photos of the moon on their phone? My phone only sees a ⚪.

          Wow, Samsung did that? That’s kinda funny.

        A big part is exposure, you need to really crank down the exposure so the Moon isn’t just an overexposed white circle. Having a phone with optical zoom is also important to get a decent resolution image.

      That’s pretty good for a phone picture, mine phone doesn’t take anything close to that for the moon

      Unfortunately I didn’t see Jupiter tonight but that was probably due to my poor timing (as per usual) lol

      I used my Lumix G9 with my 100-300mm lens at 300mm to get this shot

      And yeah I used a tripod though I probably didn’t need to due to the shutter speed of 1/250th

      Edit: this is also really cropped in, like Lightroom kicked this out at full res of 1000x1000

    My second astrophotography session, currently using free things taken with my phone through 7x50 binoculars

    Jupiter with io just about visible

    The best of my moon shots no filter so pretty blown out

    • GormadtOP

      Working around the blow out is a bit tough for sure

      And that’s a nice shot of Jupiter, I’ve been meaning to try for some of the planets but I never seem to be able to find them lol
