Nightcap Experiment


NightCap Moon & Jupiter
Experimenting with Nightcap - the gibbous Moon and Jupiter on the night of Saturday, August 29, 2020 shot with a handheld Apple iPhone and the app NightCap. Some additional process was applied with free PhotoScape X including luminance and color noise reduction and the film effect plus merging with Apple Paintbrush.

At left, a screenshot of NightCap, showing these settings on the iPhone. Note, NightCap has additional settings. For the Moon and Jupiter, the ISO was boosted high, JPG was high quality, noise was reduced, and the exposure was cut to one second.
