Some astrophotography experiments with the new Pixel 6 Pro phone
by Rich Allen 11 Nov '21

Hi all, Last week I decided to try out the "astro" mode on my new Pixel 6 Pro phone. Pretty impressed by what this thing can do with a single button click. The astro mode requires a very steady shot for a bit over 4 minutes, so I attached the phone to a tripod. I took several shots of Orion, at 1x and 2x, and managed to also capture the Pleiades and Andromeda galaxy. The astro mode also has an option to save the frames used to produce the final image as a video. I stitched together the videos and the final shots of each target into a single video: https://youtu.be/XzVzhrS9-fY I love the skies down here in Kanab. :) Rich Allen -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

Hi Folks, Forecast is for some clouds we hope with lots of clear holes! Reply directly if you are interested. I'll send out a no-go text late Friday afternoon if it's not going to happen. Thanks for any help! We're trying to get this in now rather than in the spring to be able to show the kids Jupiter and Saturn. ⁣Get TypeApp for Android
