iPhone 14 camera issues

I’ve been trying to take photos of a full moon and I get double images of it. What am I doing wrong?

may be check for one of these steps:


are you taking it handheld ? if yes, try to be as steady as possible. Best option would be to mount your phone on a tripod and manually zoom in to the moon (subject) lock your focus, and then zoom out. this will ensure that you get the sharpest image possible. also, lower down the exposure toggle, to decrease the noise in the final picture.


Put a timer. 3 or 5 seconds one. Because even the tinniest bit of shake can ruin the moment you are trying to capture, specially when its in low light conditions. you'll be amazed how much of a big difference it makes.


Try using external/attachable lenses if you could, to get better pictures. At the end of the day, you wont get DSLR like quality cauz these are tiny sensors on a phone which offers a 100+ things. so yeah.


Use third Party camera App to get more options to control iso, exposure, apperture, white balance etc.


Also, a lot of good photographers and creators click 3-10 or sometimes more, pictures without moving their cameras/frame and they stitch all the photos together to get better results.. like putting one layer over another and so on, eventually giving them more pixels and details to play with.


hope this helps. Peace.
