Got a $40 planetary camera and the moon photos blew my mind

I was super skeptical a cheap camera could beat my phone, but the detail in those crater shadows is unreal. Anyone else try a budget camera and get hooked on lunar shots?

Probably just decent phone night mode these days.

Huh, 40 bucks for a planetary cam? I got a $30 ZWO clone off Amazon last year and it pulls way more crater detail than my iPhone 13 on a tripod. Phone night mode smears everything into a blurry mess at that focal length, cheap astro cam is a whole different game.
