Some of your photos are so good I'm even shy to post mine.

I walked quite a bit to position the duck in the middle of the reflection of the moon. Just as I was zooming in it took off and then I snapped these two of it in flight.

Simple Galaxy A34 Samsung.

I have also tried previously, I switch to Pro mode, leave all the settings auto, except the shutter speed - as long as required to get the photo you want. Then use a 5 second shutter timer. Put phone down on its face, or if you have a nifty tripod even better. Hit the shutter and wait for it to finish.

Obviously the rotation of the earth starts smudging/making stripes. Play around - these are my very crude tips. Sure others might ha e more!

The Samsung's have a astrophotography mode. I can open the shutter up to 10 mins. Set the ISO up high and play with the white balance, and viola, you have epic star shots. The camera has to stay super still for the whole thing so I either use bush tripods like rocks or trees, or if I am carrying my gorilla tripod with me I use that.

I have the "Small" s22, apparently the Ultra models take even better ones as they have double the megapixels. for if you want to make it look nicer on bigger screens

Mine, even on the 10 minute setting does not do star trails. I think it stacks them automatically, maybe try a steadier photo. the phone needs to be REALY still for the photo to work. that first one looks like it worked out very nicely
