Summary: This was our best experience in Utah... and he took us everywhere, helped us with setup, framing, best locations, and most of all having fun with our first foray into astrophotography. We cannot recommend him highly enough. An amazing magical time. The photos you see were from my iphone 11... we took some with our sony mirrorless as well that were just spectacular.
