Gadgets 360 previously provided some tips on how you can use your smartphone to capture a lunar eclipse. You don't need to have the latest Samsung Galaxy S21, iPhone 12, or other expensive brands to do this.
However, you need to make sure that your handset has the pro camera feature. To get started, here are the things you need to do if you want to snap a photo of the upcoming Blood Moon lunar eclipse:

- Prepare your equipment by attaching your phone to the tripod. Make sure that it is on a stable surface and there is no tree to block your device's view.
