My Google Pixel 7a cellphone had recently been updated to support wide-angle photos, not just zoom. The sun being high in the sky at about 61 deg altitude, could I get the foreground and the sun in the same frame? Yes! As this test 4 min before first contact showed. And the sky was mostly clear! And no one had kicked me off the airfield yet! The excitement was really mounting now.
