To the left is the moon, on the right is Venus with the same luminosity if you weren't seeing it through my phone camera. It's probably the brightest I've seen in a year. Taken in Colorado so I don't know how your local orientation will differ.

Wait no Venus come back.

Yours is a lot closer to the naked eye image. I couldn't get one without zooming in to avoid surface lights.

I usually use manual controls as well. Just have a quick shutter speed and it'll capture less light so that it captures an image that is closer to what you see with the naked eye.
