Abstract
We examine observational signatures of the asymptotically de Sitter branch of static spherically symmetric Horndeski/Galileon solutions. Our analysis reveales that possible deviations of the photon sphere size from those of the GR Schwarzshild solution are vanishing compared to the resolution of modern radio-interferometric observations. These deviations are heavily suppressed by the bounds coming from the weak-field observation. We conclude that shadow size would not be a useful characteristic to distinguish the Horndeski/Galileon static spherically symmetric spacetimes in the foreseeable future.
