Yes, absolutely, but just reducing the amount of light pollution around you and looking up in the sky is a wildly different experience than, say, looking up somewhere close to a city.
And I would posit that laying on your back with open attention to the night sky in a place free from light pollution is orders of magnitude more moving than any long-exposure photograph. It’s not just the visuals, but the grander sense of being witness to the majesty of where we actually are on this planet.
