Some months ago I was in Hawaii. (big island)
On a clear night looking up, it’s amazing what one can see.
I always thought the haze of the Milky Way was made up in movies when young. You can see it distinctly.
One can also see so many more stars than on the East Coast.
It makes it easy to dream and wonder.

There's no problem seeing the wonders and the magnitude of the heavens here on the East Coast I assure you. I've been observing them for years.

Where on the BI were you watching from? Even in the small town of Kailua Kona the light pollution drowns most of it out, along with frequent clouds.
