This is a picture from my pixel 6. The picture you linked for your pixel 6 doesn’t look like you have astrophotography mode on (Night sight does a significantly shorter exposure compared to astrophotography)
I said it looked like it came from a pixel camera because it has that signature hue that I normally see taken with pixels
I didn’t intend to offend or insult your work, I’ve usually been able to look at the colors of the image and tell it’s a pixel and verify in the comments, but I was wrong in this case.
Sorry I got upset about this- I’ve thought about this conversation way too much and have been forced to come to terms with that I’m just unreasonable defensive about something I don’t actually care about.
I also lied in a way; I know Pixels can take better pictures than the one I took if you put it on a stable tripod and I didn’t do that. Defensive monkey-brain just thought it was a really good point to make since I had the picture, even if it was disingenuous.
I appreciate the apology, things get a bit heated online, I completely understand. Your picture is quite stunning, and I’m saving up for a camera so I can hope to take pictures like it and not rely on my Pixel.
My original look was on hotel wifi and I was unable to load the extensive detail in the image to see just how many stars there truly are visible. If you don’t have one already, a star tracker can help get rid of the smear from the earth’s rotation, and let you get some longer exposures. I played around with one my roommate bought me for Christmas, but it doesn’t make too much of a difference with phone photography.
Was looking through your other images and saw you mentioned one :P

Dope af. Drop some deets.
Not OP, but I’d put money that this was taken on a Google Pixel
Seriously? Here’s a picture from my Pixel https://p.drkt.eu/2024/PXL_20240812_235442218.NIGHT.jpg
Here’s a real picture of the exact same thing, same night, same conditions https://p.drkt.eu/2024/_MG_6658.jpg
Pixel phones have horrible sensors. My ancient Canon 450D produces better photos than my Pixel 6.
These pictures were shot on a 77D with the standard canon lens.
