Google Pixel 6 Pro manages to capture stunning astrophotography with a single button press. ..

The Pixel 6 Pro has a large image sensor, but it’s still smaller than cameras used in mirrorless or DSLR cameras. But the powerful machine learning software makes the Pixel 6 Pro great at capturing stars. However, enabling astrophotography mode is not as easy as you might think. To take pictures of stars in astrophotography mode, your phone won’t show up as one of the special modes you can select and start shooting. Instead, you’ll need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the Google Photos app on your phone.
  2. Tap on the three lines in the top left corner of the app screen.
  3. Select “Photos.”
  4. Under “Camera,” tap on “Astro.”
  5. Under “Settings,” make sure that “Enable night photography” is checked.
  6. Under “Shooting modes,” make sure that “Astro” is selected.
  7. Tap on the blue button next to “Astro” to start shooting photos! ..

Steps to Take Astrophotography Photos on Pixel Devices

Take a photo in Astrophotography mode with a Pixel 4 or later and use the Pixel 4’s camera features to create an astrophotography image.

If you’re a fan of time-lapse photography, you’ll love the new feature in the Photos app that automatically takes a time-lapse of the night sky when you take a photo in Astrophotography mode. You can find it under “Photos” in the app’s main menu. ..

You can disable automatic time-lapse output by accessing Camera > Night Vision > Settings > More Settings > Advanced and disabling Enable time-lapse for astrophotography.
