Looking up at the night sky has always been a breathtaking experience, but with the latest update to Samsung's Expert RAW app, it will get even more spectacular. Samsung has recently added an astrophotography mode to its Expert RAW app, which lets users take stunning long-exposure shots of the stars and constellations. So, whether you're an amateur astronomer or simply a beautiful night sky photography lover, this latest update will elevate your mobile photography game to the next level.
How to Use the Astrophotography Mode?
The astrophotography mode in Expert RAW allows users to capture the night sky by keeping the shutter open for as long as 10 minutes. Moreover, it includes a Sky guide mode that overlays the location of constellations so the user knows where to point the camera. The mode is a great addition to the app's existing features that help photographers extract the maximum performance from the cameras of the best Samsung phones.
Users need to download the latest version of Expert RAW from the Galaxy Store to take advantage of this new feature. It's worth noting that the April 2023 security update is a prerequisite for the astrophotography mode.
However, the quality of astrophotos depends on how clear the skies are in the user's region. City dwellers might not get the best results due to light pollution. Therefore, to capture the perfect starry night sky, head out to a location with minimal light pollution.

Future Support for Astrophotography
The good news doesn't end there. Samsung plans to roll out support for astrophotography in the Expert RAW app on other Samsung flagships in the future, including the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Z Fold devices. However, the company has not revealed any specific timeline for the rollout.
Recently, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 received an update to its Expert RAW app, which allows owners to take advantage of the device's "Flex Mode" hinge to position the cameras at a certain angle, making it easier to capture astrophotography shots.
The stock Samsung Camera app is very powerful, but it's worth downloading the Expert RAW app to extract the maximum performance from your phone's camera. In addition, with the Astrophotography mode, you can now easily capture stunning photos of the night sky. Whether you're a professional photographer or a casual stargazer, this new feature will impress you. So what are you waiting for? Head out and capture the beauty of the night sky with your Samsung smartphone!
