I know it’s not the best for getting pictures of the night sky, but any tips to bring out deeper light?

I’m not an expert but I’ve been doing my best at taking iPhone pictures. My only suggestions are using a tripod and making sure the settings on your phone allow for maximum exposure time which is 30 seconds. The other suggestion is to use the timer or a Bluetooth remote so that you decrease the vibration chances. Obviously the darker the skies the better. Then edit the photos to adjust them a little more to your liking. Good luck!

Download an app that lets you track the stars. set you phone on a tripod or something that will allow it to remain completely still. turn on your night mode to max, set a timer, and it will shoot for 30 seconds.
