We live far enough out in the country that light pollution isn’t really much of an issue.
It’s one of the fantastic benefits of living out in the country.
I remember when comet Kahoutek was going by- I don’t remember ever seeing it from my home- but for some reason I drove out to the country to look up and it was amazing.
I expected to see a tiny spec of the familiar comet shape, but if my memory is not playing tricks on me I recall it was about 2 or three times the width of the full moon.
You are lucky. I grew up in rural Nebraska. Same thing.
