Officially, you can't. But I found one trick. 

0) Change volume buttons to zoom function in the camera settings.
1) Open auto mode
2) Zoom in and direct the phone on a bright object further than 1 meter away. Wait until the lens is automatically changed.
3) Press and hold on to the center of the screen until you see AF/AE lock .
4) Now you can capture dark objects with telephoto lens from interesting angles.

The photos I have taken from around 0.5 meters away from the keyboard at the 10x zoom.

We can't change the focus length or shutter speed once the exposure is fixed!

PS. I know, the telephoto lens are not available in pro mode(where raw is available), so that the noise cancelling is eating ALL the details. In the preview those photos were even more gorgeous with higher quality, before the compressing. 

The technical support told me that the telephoto lens in pro mode is to be implemented soon!!!

Tech said it's availiable soon? my Note 10+ only 1 1/2 months old and I cannot access either the Wide Angle OR the Telephoto lenses in Pro Mode and it's Feb 12 2020! Very misleading advertising and specs...my first cell and also bought a 10e for my wife. Perhaps I should have bought a different brand of phone...

The primary reason I would like to access Telephoto and Wide angle cameras in Promode is to access very specific settings for these cameras for night astrophotos. Such a downer that they cant be accessed in Pro Mode

Firstcellphone,
Don't worry. The fix will not be released in the next 10 years with possibility 99.99%. I suggest you to reconsider the brand of your next phone.
