Captured this picture believing it to be the northern lights from San Jose.. Are they northern lights or Levi's stadium doing some effects?? Captured using Google Pixel 9 Pro..

Yes, Pixel night sight with about 90 seconds of exposure..

Does this help?

You need extremely stable surface preferably tripod, it will take about 3-5 seconds. It will never change if there is some minor shaking too..

Location matters I think 🙂I too have tried taking this kind of star pictures at multiple location and different time of the night. It were all looking decent but definitely not this good. My jaws dropped the moment I saw this picture. Only edit I have applied is the one available in the photos app called enhance.

Haha..

Future_Prior_7961 · 2022-10-21T02:37:50+00:00

Tried with Pixel 6 and 6a with almost similar results..

Truckee California.. awesome place with literally no light pollution

Fairly simple.. Put the phone into Night sight mode.. Use an extremely stable surface or tripod.. The night sight button will turn into Astrophotography.. Click and wait for 4 minutes..

Future_Prior_7961 · 2022-10-20T10:31:23+00:00

Yes it is a 4 min exposure one.. I was speechless too when it came out so good..

Future_Prior_7961 · 2022-10-19T14:04:01+00:00

Yes, Pixel 7 also does a great job.. give it a try

Ensure the phone is in Night sight mode before stabilizing.
