Photography of shooting stars
Find a guide in Cosmo Canyon to teleport you to the Planetology Seminar. There, speak to Caesar and his assistants. Creatures, harbingers of calamity, appeared in different places in the valley. In addition, showers of shooting stars, a sign that nothing is to be feared for the planet, are no longer observable from Cosmo Canyon.
Cloud and Aerith's mission is twofold: hunt the creatures and take photos of the constellations indicated by Caesar and the planetologists. It goes without saying that you're going to need Aponi, the region's celestial chocoboto accomplish your mission.

You will find a first creature in the center of the Cosmo region. If you have already explored the area, teleporting to one of the ramps around (#19 for example) will save you time. Once you arrive, the creature is above your head. Go around, up some stairs, and you'll see a draft that can take you all the way to the top. Take it with your chocobo.
At the top, you face a Melankiki and especially an Alacran. This species of giant scorpion is vulnerable to ice and weakens when faced with attacks from this element. By emphasizing this weakness, the fight should pose few problems. In Shock, and if you have Cloud's Infinite End skill, use it to deal a huge amount of damage to the Alacran.
After the fight, look for the right photo to reproduce with the left arrow on the directional pad, and take out the celestograph with the top one. Find the right position, angle and zoom to achieve photo quality of at least 80.00%. Note that Aerith's position is an ideal clue to position yourself correctly. Once done, head to another observation point.

Photo of the Bahamutides
Located towards the southwest of the valley, you can quickly access this point from Hunting Report 1: Drylands Sorcerer. Follow the path of the ruins to the small isolated area where a new Alacran awaits you, accompanied by two new Melankikis.
Calm down again, take out your camera. Cloud will then start by targeting Aerith, giving you the opportunity to take four photos of her. As soon as the objective is green and indicates “100.00%”, draw.
Successfully complete four shots in a row to obtain the complete collection of these stolen photos. Then focus on the photo of the Bahamutids, then head to the last observation point.
Photo of the Chocobonides
For this one, teleport to the Cosmo airfield then take the path up to the cliff level, to the east. Defeat the Alcaran and Aerith will talk about the photos you took of her. Wanting a photo with Cloud, the two then take a selfie.
Now in possession of the souvenir photo of Cloud and Aerith, finally take the photo of the Chocobonides then return to see Caesar at the planetology seminar. He is delighted by your photos and gives you tarot game accessory. The quest ends and you also leave with 1600 Exp, 10 Team Exp and an affinity increase with Aerith.
