Mobile phones often take crap photos of the Moon, and my @aunz.theconversation.com explains why. Some good mobile phone Moon photos are AI embellished unfortunately (sign of our times).
Mobile phones can take good aurora photos, and there's a decent chance of aurora tonight. Fingers crossed.

Why is it so hard to take a good photo of the Moon with my phone?
Phones can often take great photos, but why photos of the Moon typically disappointing? The Moon itself and camera design are both part of the answer.
