Can you see the dust clouds with the naked eye or are you using a telescope?
With the naked eye, in my case with my glasses on. The sky is especially spectacular as seen from 8,000 to 10,000 feet up in the White and Inyo range of mountains east of High Sierra and the Owens Valley. We have night sky photographers from all over come here to photograph the night sky. I have even seen some of their photos posted here on FR in the past.
