Night Sky Photography with Google Pixel 7 Pro

[@stevefarringer9289]

I was using Nightsight a while back trying to catch a plane as it went overhead. What I ended up with is a perfect shot of the SPACE STATION. It's amazing that a phone camera could capture something 350 feet long , 250 miles away traveling 17,000 mph . I wish there was a place I could send it to them.

I now have the Pixel 8 Pro and I am SO SO excited to start taking galactic core photos.

[@seshankraj6549]

hey am using pixel 8 pro but if i click any photo at night the sky looks so odd it looks so noisy and blurr kinda..are you facing the same or its just me...

[@ProudMama-boy]

Very informative! Love this!

[@viperlux]

Thank you! I'm chasing the Aurora tonight in Socal and had to learn how to use this feature right now

[@karlstanners1640]

Can't wait to utilize this function if my phone, great video too super helpful.

[@lrsabo43]

Can you please share what tripod and also the camera mount is that you use? I am having difficulty in finding a mount that doesn't conflict with my volume controls. I would appreciate your opinion. Great video. Thanks

There is an automatic timelapse feature in the Nightsight mode (Pro phones only). You turn it on by touching Settings-Adanced. If you chase the northern lights it's a game changer. Also cool for general star shots- it compresses the 4 minutes into about a 1 second, high quality video, automatically, no processing.

Nightsight on the Pixel is awesome! I've been lucky to capture meteors on mine.

Hey, been trying to do some night shots of the stars over here in the UK, but not having any good results even on a tripod, that was until I found this tutorial and discovered "Astro Mode" this is going to be a game changer, thank you for sharing this video 🙏👊

[@GoogleforCreators]

We are glad to hear that!

[@imanrasheed7983]

I just learnt that if the camera sees the earth moving in those few minutes, it makes short video!! I got a 1 second video of my photo!😮

[@TheDefeatest]

I had no idea that astro mode existed until I got a tripod! loving it!

[@MrSpookie01]

Looking forward to trying it out myself this summer.😀

[@littleman8438]

Hey guys, is that because of updates or can I activate somewhere the fact that white balance and warmth cursors appear on the live screen of my camera app if I tap on the screen ? If I tap now it just focus on where I tap, but no setting cursor seems to appear

[@woodswalker88]

Can you attach it to binocs or telescope? Also I thought you needed equatorial tracking to do sky shots? Otherwise you will get star trails?

[@petrachaloupkova1361]

Yeah, thought so too. I was told this happens after literally 16 seconds... I'm choosing new phone and am between this and I phone 13 pro... As the budget can't go any higher. But I am a bit sceptical about this video solely because of the fact that I also think one has to follow the stars to get such a shot on such a long exposure. I'd love to hear some feedback from the author on this topic 🙏 Thank you

[@littleman8438]

Hey guys, I think how this thing works is that its not taking 1 picture for 4 minutes, but I read that its taking many pictures of 16s and then stacks them together and processes it so the stacks align. Otherwise we'd have star segments exactly as you feared.

Hi! is it possible to take pictures of meteor shower (like the Geminids meteor shower) using the astrophotography mode???

[@Squirrel-Chaser]

Have you figured out a way to make a time lapse longer than a few seconds? The pixel has a really weird issue where the first few photos of the time lapse are pink, followed by the remaining shots being blue. I don't like having to click the shutter every four minutes. Then when you combine when all together it does the pinkish astro shot, then the blues, then pink, then blues.

[@Squirrel-Chaser]

@@seshankraj6549 are you using astrophotography with a tripod?

[@phila3884]

I have the Pro 7 and just searched online. t looks like 4 minutes is the built-in limit on night timelapse--probably for processing and memory purposes. I haven't noticed a color shift in my night movies yet. Maybe delete the portions of each video with the wrong color for now?

[@andreasktoris3432]

So the Nightsight mode is activated only if the phone is steady? Yes, I have Pro 7

[@maryamashraff8096]

Does it work on pixel 7 ( not pro)

[@forgaven3346]

Pixel 6/7/8 pro phones are pure astrophotography/photography monsters...

[@EvgenyTimurov]

Не может Google pixel 7 pro делать такие фотографии... даже на стэдикаме

[@whitewolfsounds2273]

Если вы слишком некомпетентны, чтобы это сделать, это не значит, что это не сработает. Pixel 7 pro очень хорошо умеет делать такие фотографии.

[@ShannonJacobs0]

Still not a telescope and not of any real use I can imagine. From the title I expected infrared or ultraviolet capability.

[@GravemindHD]

You can strap a pixel phone to a telescope and do basically the same thing for deep astrophotography, the phone will do most of the work for you. And all you need is to tweek the raw file in Lightroom and you're done.

[@Internatube]

I can confirm this works.​@@GravemindHD I've attached external wide angle moment lenses to my pixel phone and have gotten gorgeous star photos
