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.

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.

That’s too bad. I’m about 75 miles SW of Fredericksburg and there is no significant development near me.
