That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing! I saw a similar thing when I was in Santa Fe once, but there was a fair amount of light pollution so I wasn’t really sure how that compared to these “truly dark” places out there

Ah yes, light pollution sucks. The biggest difference in dark places is that instead of looking gray and washed out, the sky looks closer to black and you can see the dust lanes in the milky way. It's still an incredible sight, you just don't get the crispness and color that a camera can capture.
