What I did is I zoomed into the moon and used the focus slider to adjust for the sharpest moon, then I fixed the focus distance and zoomed out to adjust other settings. I am not sure whether this is a software issue.

For focusing, we can set focus distance to infinity but for OnePlus 3, it doesn’t appear sharp in infinity focus. For the second image, it was a crescent moon so I can use longer exposure time to properly expose the moon and clouds. As expected, everything except the moon was underexposed. In the first image, it was very bright and I have to use very fast shutter speed to capture the surface details of the moon. I have tried to capture the details of the moon and the images below are probably the best I can get. The main reason is the short focal length of most of the smartphone cameras that are mostly around 30mm effective focal length. Linux and OSX users are required to use Wine in so far as Registax is only available for Windows.Moon photography is relatively difficult with smartphone camera compared to DSLR. Note : This tutorial is only valid for Windows users. Registax is then used to perform a precise alignment of the cropped picture set, stack everything into a single image, and apply the powerful wavelet filter.

This preliminary step allows to reduce the size of the images aligned and stacked later by Registax which will perform faster (and often better). Ninox is used for a quick preliminary crop of the raw images, with an automatic centering of the brightest object in the frame (here it's the moon).

Focal length : 400mm (35mm equivalent: 600mm).

In the following, the raw moon pictures have been acquired with a SONY SLT-A55 DSLR combined with a SIGMA 120-400 lens and the following settings: The alignment task (before being able to properly stack the images) is mandatory in order to compensate the for relative the motion of the moon in front of the camera between the successive shots. This post-processing task requires having a set of photographs (typically 10 to 100 for the moon) that have been acquired in the same conditions, with the same gears, and the same settings (focal length, f number, exposure time, ISO, white balance). Align and stack multiple moon shots (or planetary shots like Jupiter for example) allows to improve the final image quality (less noise, less deformations).
