My First Sturgeon Moon Photo: A Journey of Improvement

This is the first moon photo that I've really liked that I took. It's not great, but I am working on getting better tech. I'm currently using an old 2013 digital camera that I got on FB marketplace for like $20 haha.

Here's a look at the Sturgeon Moon as captured by my humble setup:

I'm really excited to share this image, and even more excited to continue learning and improving. Astrophotography can be an expensive hobby, but I believe there's a lot you can achieve with a bit of creativity and resourcefulness. My goal is to capture increasingly detailed and stunning images of celestial objects, and I'm committed to making that happen even with limited resources.

Any suggestions on what I can do to improve the competition would be great! I'm open to any and all advice, whether it's about camera settings, processing techniques, or even affordable upgrades that can make a significant difference. Let's explore the cosmos together, one pixel at a time!
