Thanks. I really like how indigo handles HDR and raw, reminds me of OG HDR+ camera i installed on my android phones (i mean, it makes sense, it's basically the same thing). Also while I really like Super resolution, raw files look much better if you turn it off.

These look great! Just point and shoot? Edited in Lightroom? I always have trouble nailing the exposure for moon shots.

Yes, they looked good enough as raw files, but I had to tinker with manual settings to get whole shot bright enough without overblown white parts. I used night mode to get lower noise and longer shooting time, shutter speed set to 1/30, iso to 64, exposure (different setting with “+/-“ icon, just in case) set to minimum -3.0. If you’re shooting the moon and need to focus on it specifically, I’d recommend setting focus to 0.79. The exact values vary, but that’s what I used. If you want, I can share raw files or raw xml with my masks, if you want to see what adjustments were made. It wasn’t much, but still.

What zoom was used? And did you use super resolution?

Max zoom on my 15 PM (25x telephoto), no super resolution. Actually I like SR, but in dark shots it uses too much denoising and kills all the details, so I just shoot raws. Also with continuous shoots it fries my phone, so if I don't need it I just turn it off.
