How do you get rid of the halo effect when taking photos of the Crescent moon?

Hi sallie48,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Taking photos in low light conditions can cause this to happen with your photos. However, you can see how to take the best photos in Night Mode following the steps in this article: Use Night mode on your iPhone

Have a great day.

Glad we could help.
