Utah's Celestial Spectacle: A Milky Way Masterpiece
Last night, under the vast desert sky near Sevier Lake, Utah, a special kind of magic happened. It wasn't just the awe-inspiring sight of the Milky Way stretching across the darkness, but the shared experience between a father and his son that truly illuminated the evening.
My son, with a curiosity and knowledge that belied his years, guided me through the process of capturing this incredible vista. He showed me how to utilize the 'Astro' setting on his Pixel 9 Pro's Night Sight feature, a testament to how accessible advanced astrophotography is becoming.

It's a powerful reminder that you don't always need professional equipment to create something truly spectacular. Sometimes, all it takes is a clear night, a willing companion, and a little bit of technological magic.
