On the Pixel I'd recommend the astrophotography mode which exposes for 4 to 5 minutes, it works very well.

You need to use the night mode in the camera and then put the phone on a tripod or lean it against something so it won't move, after a few seconds the shutter button will turn into a stars symbol. Then press the shutter button and it will tell you how long you should leave the phone there.
