This is the first photo with Astrophotography with Pixel 4. Its Constellation of Orion took from Mission Viejo, California Nov26 2019. Very impressive astrophoto

    BCHLIU, 07 Nov 2019This feature has already been in the P30 Pros for a while. ... more ´the P30 Pro dramatically shifts the image's overall illumination. Pictures taken in dark rooms suddenly look like they were taken in the evening instead´.From https://www.t3.com/reviews/huawei-p30-pro-review.
    Yes low light is special in P30 but that´s not Astrophotography. Neither the moon picture. Astrophotography is related with stars and planets. With Milky Way and constellations. Google developed an AI mathematical software that only interstellar´s ships have.Nor the best DSLR camera has it. I´ve been taking pictures to the night sky for years an this is an impressive development. This will change the way astrophotographers look at the night sky.

      Stak, 07 Nov 2019It's not a bad feature but i think it's irrelevant for 99.9... moreYou are right. Just 1% of the people will recognize this as a smart feature. Only Astrophotographers with a long experince

        Astrophotography is not a click and shot. Is not to shot the moon. I bought the Pixel 4 only for this feature. I´ve been taking astrophotography for years with my DSLR camera and for me was impossible that a phone could take a astrophotography. I learned Google made a software of mathematical algoritms based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) used by satellites and only experienced photographers will appreciate this feature. Pixel 4 isn´t a toy. Is a piece of High Tech equipment of the future in the present.

                This feature has already been in the P30 Pros for a while. Astrophotography can be done on the Huaweis no problems.. including taking pics of the moon directly without filters.

                              However, I also agree with the fact that both Telephoto and Ultrawide are important, more so than Astro mode, because these are the cameras one will use in their daily life.

                                I say: It's a gimmick. Astrophotography is nice and indeed wow. But it's not like for daily use. I rather get an ultra wide lens and give up astrophotography AND telephoto, lol.

                                    it's fun how you don't need a pixel 4 to get a pixel 4. Google, so weird. Why not make your software available on other phones but charge for it? Just saying, your pixel lineup isnt selling that great.
