I’m in Hayfork, just northwest of Redding, Ca.
Live way out in the boondocks so no light pollution.
Turned off all the house and yard lights.
0 cloud cover, waited for my eyes to adjust to the dark
all I saw was the Milky Way; didn’t even get a damn T shirt!
I read down the comments a ways after I posted, then went back outside with my phone and YUP, shows up real good on the phone even took some pictures.
