Cody's astrophotography demonstrates a view of the nighttime sky unseen by the naked eye. My Grandaddy once told me how Indians tested their eyesight by looking at the Big Dipper and describing the dim and bright stars. In the handle, their is a dim star next to the bright star in the handle. In Indian lore, it was known as the boy with a dog. Though ever-increasing night pollution has dim the views, there are parks being dedicated to Dark Skies, so opportunities still avail themselves.
