Steps to Enable Astrophotography Mode on Your Pixel
Follow these simple steps to capture stunning photos of the night sky using astrophotography mode on your Pixel:

Tips for Taking the Best Astrophotography Shots
To take great astrophotography shots, find a location far from city lights to avoid light pollution. Include objects like trees or mountains in your frame to add depth to your photos. Use a longer exposure time to capture more light and get brighter, more explicit night sky pictures.
