SUMMARY
An overnight test of the GoPro Mission 1 Pro on a beach for astrophotography revealed significant improvements in battery life and low-light capture. The camera recorded a 4K timelapse from midnight until just after sunrise, exceeding expectations for an action camera without external power. Despite the challenging conditions, the resulting 8MP stills and assembled video showed good detail from the night sky and lake shore. The larger sensor and enhanced battery represent a notable evolution for the GoPro line.
