I live in an eastern state and I get to see the Milky Way on a regular basis. It gets pretty dark in my part of Central Virginia.

It’s not like Idaho, mind you, but it’s not bad.

I live outside of Fredericksburg and had to sell my telescope due to the light pollution. When I first moved here I was able to see the Andromeda galaxy unaided, but now I can barely see the nebulas in Orion's belt.

I live in VA Beach and if I go out on a very clear night I can count all the visible stars. About seven.

I once took a canoe trip in Northern WI. The second night there was a perfectly clear night. I spent nearly the whole night looking at the sky...completely dumbfounded. I knew I'd never seen a real night sky but was amazed at how vast it truly was.

How the stars are lite at night.
