I just made a bunch of Pixel 7 astro shots in the last week.

I’ve found the bright spot in the middle to be consistent enough that I added a mask to my Lightroom preset to cancel it out. I’m not really sure what they were going for there. I suppose it could be some sort of lens or stacking artifact. I just don’t get it. With all the processing they use to make these captures, you’d think they would’ve evened it out themselves. Either way, it’s simple enough to work around.

I’ve always been really impressed by astro mode. I had a 3a before, and even that produced stunning starscapes.
