I shot this recently with a Canon FF body (5D3) and a 24 mm f/1.4. Sturdy tripod, cable release, the whole nine yards. Moon rise, and you can just make Rainier out in the distance. My friend was standing 30 feet away hand holding his new phone, at screen size his first reaction was "why do I carry a heavy Manfrotto around?" But I wouldn't hesitate to print this as big as I need and doubt the phone is good enough for that.
