The Milky Way is very prominent in NNE away from towns. I sit out on my deck or on these chairs on a clear, moonless nights and realize how insignificant we are. Amazing people in the cities can never see this. This photo was taken this summer from my front lawn. It's a short time exposure so the Milky Way is slightly brighter in this picture than the naked eye but not much. The lights from Bristol NH 7 miles to my south mucks up my south view.
Edit. Also thousands of stars in my night sky. How many can you count in Boston, 25-50?
