I’ve “ghosted” (just barely and intermittently seen) that one through my Fuji 10x70s. Big but very low surface brightness. Sometime soon I’ll do a night drive to the Death Valley region. I saw the darkest skies of my life there in ‘90. You knew where the horizon was because the stars ended. A most wondrous effect was that with such a black and clear sky (the Galaxy was at its most hidden for north-temperate latitudes - about 9pm in March) the stars seemed just out of arm’s reach. I never saw anything like that again.

I'm originally from the middle of nowhere. I've lived in the city for almost 20 years.

I miss really seeing stars.

before i got married, i used to go for road trips into Big Bend national park and take my telescope with me. Now talk about dark skies....the only light i used was a flash light with a red diffuser so you can still see things..there is another spot i used to like to go to, there is an observatory right behind Buchannan Dam......only place i haven't been is McDonalds Observatory for sky watching...
