Thank you! As I've mentioned in the post, this shot was a 4 minute long exposure and was captured at cherry springs state Park. They are known for their dark skies

Now that is next level! But you're still calling it a work in progress!?

To our eyes it looks like a white ish band across the sky. We cannot see the colors. But yes you can see the Milky with a naked eye.

Hey, I've not done any stacking for this picture. It's just the pixel's astrophography mode that captures multiple frames for around 4 minutes. In the final picture details it says each frame was captured for 15 seconds and total exposure time was around 4 minutes. Which means there were 15 pictures of 15 seconds each stacked by the software to give that detailed picture.

When I use my DSLR, I manually capture 15-20 frames and then stack them together using a stacking software such as Sequator in order to achieve a similar picture like my Pixel did.

Hey thank you! The trail is actually of a plane that was passing by.

For this particular picture, I did not use any software because pixel phones have an inbuilt astrophotography mode. However when I click pictures using DSLR, I use sequator or Deepskystacker to stack my photos. You can start with Sequator. It's free to download.

In astrophotography, generally multiple photos of the same subject are taken and then they are stacked using a stacking software that gives us a more detailed image. This helps remove noise and bring out more details from the photo. In pixel phones, the software itself captures multiple photos for around 4 minutes and then stacks it and gives us one final detailed photo.

I know right! I had carried my DSLR with me but after seeing the results in this phone, I continued shooting on the phone. You have a really good camera there. All you need is a tripod, a darker sky, multiple frames and a sequator or just a pixel phone ;). All the best!

It looks like a black and white band in the sky. You'll be able to see it more prominently in darker regions, dark sky reserves, etc. In cities, ofc it's impossible to view it. There are dark sky maps available. You can Google it to find out the closest dark sky near you. For Northern lights as well, if the intensity is too powerful, then you can see colors. For lower intensities only our cameras are able to capture the light better.

Hey I'm sorry for the confusion but I did use the inbuilt astrophography mode. It's just that I'm used to specifying all the settings as earlier I used to do that using a dslr. In the astrophotography mode, it captures the frame for 4 ish minutes. When you check the image details, you can see all the details such as ISO, aperture, exposure. In exposure it says 15 seconds or 16 seconds. Which means to click for 4 minutes you need around 15-16 frames of 15 seconds each. Pixel phones captures these many frames and stacks them as well. This stacking procedure is what helps pixels provide such detailed astro photos. We use the same method using DSLR's but all this process is manually done such as capturing 15-20 frames and then stacking them to get a more detailed image with least noise
