re: #165 Bobibutu

The best I ever experienced was in the Flores Sea in Indonesia back in the 70s. An isle I was on was ~1500 miles in any direction from any significant population center with electricity. Zero light pollution.
Meteorites were visible every 5-10 seconds leaving red trails against the backdrop of the Milky Way cutting across horizon to horizon. Moonless nights were extra awesome.

The last time I saw the Milky Way was when I was in elementary school, at my grandparents’ farm. Here in Atlanta, ffftt!!
