The W in Cassiopeia lies right in the band of the Milky Way. I use it and the Summer Triangle to know where the MW is. Can't actually see the MW here in New York City, except during a black out.

You can just barely make out the faint glow of the vertically orientated band of the Milky Way below.

The "ecliptic plane", for those that don't know, is the the flat disk of the solar system. The MW Galaxy of course is also basically a flat disk.

You can’t see it in smaller cities like Savannah either.

In fact, if you wish to join the “Urban Astronomers” club from the Astronomical League, you have to observe in an area where you can’t see the Milky Way even on really clear nights.

I worked hard to get in that club. It’s not easy.

If you follow the lower bend in the “W’’ it leads straight to the Andromeda Galaxy in Andromeda.

That big pile of money from the robbery is *buried* under a big W...
