Full moon. Yes, that’s just moonlimoonlight. I was hoping to get some stars in the sky, but I couldn’t find the settings to make that happen with such a bright moon. Oh well, more time to keep playing needed.

What kind of camera? I see a lot of grain in the expanded version, ISO 100 can help with this.

LG G5. I know I’m not going to get the best, even with manual mode, on a cell phone, but I’ve been impressed before. This is with the wide angle lens, so it’s going to lose a little bit from that, too.
I was playing with the shutter speed and ISO. I couldn’t remember which ISO made a clearer picture, and cranking max to min didn’t appear to make a difference when I zoomed in. The settings on my phone went from 50 to 3200. Unfortunately, this was with 3200. The 13 second shutter speed left more color in the sky than the 30 second I was playing with for most of the pictures I took, though.

Get yerself a real camera! Your phone doesn’t have the computing power you’re looking for. I went through this exact progression about five years ago.

I agree with you 100%. The convenience is hard to ignore, though.
I suppose I could keep my eyes open for a good used Canon...

Get a camera, it’ll open a whole new world. Phone cameras are convenient, sure, but once you get in the habit of raking your camera everywhere that won’t be so much of a factor.

For now, I’m happy to play with manual mode every once in a while to learn again. My phone even has the option to save in raw, but I haven’t had Photoshop in a long time now.
There is absolutely no comparison, though, to the clarity a real good image sensor in a DSLR can provide.

Very true. For night shots with a tripod keep ISO at 100 and play without different length shutter speeds and focal lengths. The high ISO is what’s causing all the grain in the shot you posted.
