I suggest not updating if you are happy with old version and don't wanna update. HDR is not still usable despite libs and codes in this version. Filters, Panorama and Google Lens will arrive to Gcam Go as well in the future.
About the CamStellar button:
The button actually triggers a mode that I like to call Sunset/Moon Mode. Now this has similarities with LDR but it's different. In case of sunrise and sunset shots, you can decide to get full silhouette look just slightly moving the exposure slider or without any touching, get an aesthetic photo as though not totally blacked out shadows but would make the photo eye pleasing imo. I already uploaded some samples to the CamStellar album.
For the moon part, you need a decent amount of optical zoom to really take a decent picture. The telephoto lens might come handy but if you have a telescope, it should take brilliant photos. Plus, the astro shots on a moon lit night wouldn't look overexposed if this mode is used. It takes darker natural looking photos but still offers the stars like we see in naked eye. I believe if worked on properly, you can take a shot of stars with moon in background as well. This will actually ensure a natural looking photo like what you really see.
Another thing that should benefit from this mode is light trails. Since this lib tends to capture least ISO and more shutter speed, the light trails of traffic should be much better. Just use the Astrophotography mode with moon button on and see if it does work like a great Light Painting alternative. (Google removed light painting after 7.2)
I have used a different approach for this mode unlike other modders approached for LDR. I modified a custom lib for this and some of the exposure parameters are tuned in such a way that the RAW is affected as well. You get an aesthetic looking RAW photo as well for professional editing.
Please don't use my Lib on your mod without permission.
Please make a clean install for best results (uninstall previous stellar). After launching first time, go to settings and return using system back gesture or button to restart the app and for the settings to get applied properly.

Introducing CamStellar 2! Incremental update to the astrophotography spin-off from Greatness Cam.
And as usual, the features from CamStellar 1 retains. It should provide you the best astrophotography results from Gcam mods out there due to the way it was tuned. Be sure to try it out if you love astrophotography. I promise you won't be disappointed. However, note that this is not a complete mod. You can use it in parallel with GreatnessCam.
Must uninstall previous CamStellar before installing this. However this app can be installed alongside any other apps/Gcam. As like the last time, you don't need any xml. After installing, visit the settings once and use system back button or system side swipe back gesture so the app restarts and changes get applied. And yeah this app is as simple as it gets, so don't be shy to explore.
!! Don't expect support for this version. Don't contact the modder for help. !!
Gcam Go Mod: Greatness NS2.
Note that Nightsight requires Camera2API exposed RAW support. However. some other functions run without Camera2API Limited and legacy. This app contains both arm64-v8a and armeabi-v7 libs so will install on both arch.
Don't talk about this on GreatnessCam Group. Join @GcamGo to discuss. PM will lead to FedBan from all my groups. You are free to share this app with proper credits. However, please don't give link to my profile since people bug me on PM.
This might be the end of Gcam 7.3 for Greatness Cam.
A lot of things happened throughout the journey. Thanks to the ones who were here from the beginning. Thanks to them who are in my alpha group testing for me everyday. Thanks to my XML makers. Some of whom I must specially mention are- @SixArmedPriest, @MadnessKnight, @dejavutr, eneRgy,@ImRM404, @jwernerny, @Dennisal, @therevofhumboldt, @Saitama_Sensei7, @GaruARG, @mridll and for the last few months Timo, @Usyless and @LThallen.
So, here I am, introducing GreatnessCam 2.2.

Notes:
To be honest, I don't know if this app can be actually described in a changelog. It's basically a stripped down yet highly optimized version of the upcoming Greatness Cam 2.2 for astrophotography only. So, I would rather suggest to install, try it for Astrophotography and judge that way. Full insider changelog would be revealed with release of Greatness Cam 2.2. I believe you won't have any serious bugs on this because stability and accessibility was my main concern, maybe it would be like a reserved app that you will keep installed on your phone only to use when you feel like doing astrophotography.

Custom Libs:
😀 Still compatible with XMLs for Urnyx05, but for better results, small but vital changes are necessary since there are options for improvising.
(Note that these libs were selected from 18 Libs through user opinions through an Open Beta program. Everyone participating here has their name listed in About Mod section of settings)
Those who are wondering about Version 1.8, it was exclusive to telegram channel and was a minor update to be honest. But since all the goodies are included in this 1.9, nothing to worry.
🙏🏻 Special Thanks to Urnyx05 and Rakin for making this Mod Possible! We all appreciate your work brother! As Always Thanks to Nameless,My brother from another!🙏🏻
