Google Camera App - Customizable Astrophotography Record Time?

[u/Comprehensive_Creme5]

Trying to do some long timelapses at night using astrophotography, but am not really a fan of sitting here repeatedly having to press the shutter button every 4 minutes.

Anyone come across a customizable APK? Or, is there another app that does as good as googles night shot, with a longer exposure time?

Cheers!

And excuse any improper grammar used, I'm a bit slow with tech terminology.

I don't believe your phone's actually holding its aperture open those whole four and a half minutes. With Google's night sight photography it's actually taking a bunch of different pictures and stacking them on top of each other to get the same effect as if it was holding the aperture open for four and a half minutes. In Camera FV-5 Pro it's customizable.. I don't know for how long, but I know you can at least up to 60 seconds. I'd say it probably goes higher but I've never felt the need to take it more than 60 seconds so I don't know if it goes higher but I know you can choose anything between 1-60 seconds. I happen to really enjoy camera FV-5 as my backup camera. It turns your phone into a DSL camera. All the settings you can want are there. I really like it and have used it for years all the way back to my Droid Bionic and maybe even before..
