2. Ken-Young - Andromeda Galaxy taken with a Pixel 4 XL in "astrophotography mode"
- Now that one is high indeed! I had no idea that Pixel is capable of such shots. if this has indeed been taken without additional optics then it is very impressive!

It was. Attached is a photo of the fancy setup I used. I'm *amazed* by how good the Google Astrophotography mode is. A single 4 minute exposure detects stars as faint as magnitude 10, 25 times fainter than what the best human eye can detect at the darkest site.
