Outdoor stargazing scene at night: a telescope on a tripod faces a clear star-filled sky, while a fire pit glows in the background. In the foreground, woven baskets topped with lanterns and candles sit beside a cushioned bench draped with blankets and pillows, creating a warm, illuminated seating area under the stars.
