Inspired by another pic on here, finally figured out the astrophotography mode on my phone camera - 5min exposure in rural Wales (lemmy.world)

Awesome! I love how phone cameras these days have dedicated astro modes, you can get really good results with some tinkering.

I downloaded the photo and pushed it a bit further in iOS free Lightroom, you can squeeze a bit more faint detail out of them, especially if your phone can save RAW format photos.

What exactly did you do here? Up the contrast or something?

Adjust the color curves I'm guessing

I just played around with contrast, saturation of each color, a bit of shadows/ blacks and exposure, a bit of dehaze filter and some noise reduction if I remember correctly.
