So I tried stacking my phone pics of the moon with a free app
My shots were just blurry dots until I used 50 exposures in Sequator, now you can see craters lol. Anyone know a better free tool for this?

Honestly I just use my phone and a steady hand. All that stacking software feels like overkill to me. You get a decent single shot if you prop the phone against something and use a timer. The apps always make my final image look sort of fake and over processed anyway. A clear single shot beats a messy stack any day in my book.

That's exactly how I felt about it too. Tried stacking with my phone once and the result looked like a weird, smudgy painting, not a real photo at all. A single shot with the phone braced on a fence post or a rock has always looked way more natural to me, even if you can't see every single crater. Sometimes the messy stacks just feel like you're fighting the software more than actually capturing the moment, lol.
