So my phone has a astrophotography setting. I can choose the Kelvin, iso ect and I have the choice of an exposure at 4, 7 and 10 min. I wanted to experiment and play a little.

Tonight I spent over an hour outside trying to find the right spot and then playing with the settings. Before finally getting close to what I wanted.

My phone also takes pics in what's called RAW format, which would be the digital equivalent of a negative from the olden days lol.

All digital cameras shoot in RAW, but when you are on auto mode the camera edits the photo for you based on the algorithms/AI it was programed to do.

So, once I had my photo, which was taken in both RAW and jpeg, I chose to take the RAW and edit in Lightroom. This time I did choose a filter, but really the only changes were to enhance the milky way a bit especially down towards the house area. And also get rid of the green hue that all the photos had. In the astrophotography groups, I read about this happening when too much noise. Maybe next time I'll turn down the iso and up the exposure time.

Lastly, I couldn't help myself and I used snapseed app to add the moon to the photo, which I also took with the phone. All editing and photos were taken and edited on my phone.

The only issue I have with snapseed is that when you save, you lose soooooooooo much megapixels which reduces the size of print I can make.

Anyway, I'll show the jpeg version of the original (FB won't upload a raw photo) the edited version from LR and the final with the moon.
