The Canon G9X Mark II pocket camera was released in 2017. My copy was purchased in 2020. It has several astronomy-related scene modes which I have never utilized, until now. The three modes are "Star Portrait", "Star Nightscape", and "Star Trails". The latter mode is very similar to the "Live Composite" shooting mode offered by some Olympus (now OM-System) cameras.
The Canon "Star Trails" mode does not offer much in terms of user-adjustable settings. The exposure time from 10 minutes to 2 hr (in 10-min increments) and AF/MF are about the only choices. For this test I set up the camera on a tripod pointing north, chose "60 min" for the exposure, pressed the shutter button, and walked away.
