How to enable Astrophotography on Moto G8 Plus’s Google Camera 7.0 APK:

First enable the Use astrophotography Mode in the settings. This setting alone is not responsible for astrophotography mode. Following are some conditions that must be met too.
There are few things required primarily to capture in Astrophotography mode:
– It can be enabled on Night Sight mode
– The phone must be kept static (use a tripod or keep the phone somewhere to keep it static)
– There must be low light condition
– It may take few seconds for this mode to come up when the above conditions are met

[su_note note_color=”#FBF4DD” text_color=”#A38C68″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]The photo has to be taken when the “Astrophotography is on” (or instead of this it may show as capture cuttlefish or something like that) is shown on the view finder. When I kept the phone static in front of an ample light source, the Astrophotography mode did not turn on.[/su_note]

I used a tripod to keep the phone static and when I exposed the phone to low light conditions the atrophotography mode automatically turned on and flashed on the screen. Below are some of the photos I have taken when the Astrophotography mode is ON.

It takes 30 seconds to capture one image in this mode.
