First light with a Pixel 4a

[kev100]

Hi,

I'd seen several photos taken with a Pixel 4a on the internet, but wasn't prepared at all at just how good the phone can be.  If it's this good now, what'll phones be like 5 years from now?

Gorgeous shots!

Lovely shots @kev100. And I’m envious of your dark (for me at least) sky. I’m in Southampton and especially with the docks a blaze of light all night and every night, it does suffer from light pollution to say the least.  Piddletrenthide is in a great part of the country. About 20 yrs ago, before I was into telescopes, I’d would go past and through there on a regular basis.

Cheers, and yes, we’re very lucky to have reasonably decent skies. I was down in Weymouth on Monday, not that far away, and tried to get a shot of Orion over the bay, but the lights on shore and from the cruise ships in the bay made it near impossible…

Compare the above with these taken a few days later in Weymouth ....
