You know how we were talking about how the phone tends to over expose and crush detail? Here's a really good example.

Two identical shots. One shot in full auto. One in pro mode with spot metering instead of matrix, so it just reined in the exposure just a bit. Watch how much more detail is preserved in the second shot - I added close ups on both images.

Third is using the zoom lens just for kicks.

When you get it right the lens produces terrific shots.

You can definitely tell the difference but they are all good. I don't know how to use all the settings so I just have to accept the auto shot and hope it looks good without tweaking.

I finally got to test out my new telescope with an Orion Smartphone holder and my Note 8.
So much fun!
Waxing Crescent Moon picture #1 - I used Auto Mode with 2X Optical Zoom.
Waxing Crescent Moon picture #2 - I used Auto Mode with No Optical Zoom.
[44mm eyepiece on a SCT 9.25 inch telescope]

Believe me when I say I'm no photographer or know very much (yet) about astronomy! This phone and the phone holder the really help.
