Camping Under the Stars

Under a dark, starlit sky, 8-year-old Ravi stands next to his father, who is setting up a telescope on a tripod, aiming it at a constellation. Ravi's mother is seated to the left near a small campfire, roasting marshmallows on a stick, while Ravi's younger sister sits beside her, holding a flashlight and casting animal shadows on a nearby rock. Tall pine trees frame the background, and you can see the soft glow of distant stars and a faint outline of mountains.

Draw this from the perspective of Ravi's mother, with the telescope, fire, and shadow play as focal points. Capture the details of the family's campsite, like the texture of the tree bark, Ravi's excited expression, and the scattered stars above.
