   Tonight’s full moon is called the Full Sturgeon Moon. “The Great Lakes and Lake CHamplain sturgeon were said to be most readily caught during this full Moon” (https://www.almanac.com/full-moon-names).

There we go! The lights are crisp and clean, the moon is completely over exposed, but without combining multiple shots, this is about the best that can be done. The streak above the moon is a jet, the iPhone 15 decided it needed a 3 second time exposure, long enough for the jet to move a bit. Also, way longer than you can possibly do a hand-held shot.

It is really amazing how the iPhone 15 amplifies low light images! Even the movie worked pretty well.
