Pixel 4A at its limits?

[kev100]

Hi,

I was messing around with some photos I took recently with my Pixel 4A, and wondered if it could pick up any galaxies, besides M31 and 33 (which I'd already caught). As I'd recently taken a pic of Ursa Major, I wondered of M81 & 82 were possible. Here's the pic:

 

 

Anyway, I took a screen capture of the same part of the sky in SkySafari and overlaid it in Photoshop, then dropped the opacity. Amazing, M81 & 82 show up (okay, the very definition of faint fuzzies, but there nonetheless)!

Exported the transition as a video:

 

I think that this is bloody amazing ...
