[Utah-astronomy] Some astrophotography experiments with the new Pixel 6 Pro phone

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
