You live in a world that is so much suffering from light pollution from the LA basin... I wonder how you can really appreciate the stars. Do you ever get out to where you can see anything but the brightest stars? Growing up in SoCal, I was driving to Phoenix once along the 10, and I had to get out and just marvel at the crazy view of the Milky Way. Did you know that during a black-out in LA some people actually called 911 reporting a strange silver haze across the sky?

it's the same here. there's so much light pollution that i can literally count the stars in the sky. it's like in the 30s how many stars you can see. at first you'd be hard pressed to find one, but once your eyes adjust you can start making out very faint points in an otherwise... mustard colored sky.

like this, but with fewer stars and more light pollution

more like this, especially if it's cloudy at all. but even on a clear night the sky is just ugly. other cities are way worse though

Want no light pollution?
Try any city on the outskirts of Pyongyang on a good night. But don't count on any assistance on the hunger pangs front when you inevitably starve.

in the US you can pretty much just drive into the country and you can find plenty of low light areas. once you get outside of the cities then it can get pretty dark, but even smaller towns are now generating a bunch of light so you kinda have to head into the middle of nowhere to get best light conditions. but if you're willing to drive an hour and a half away from cities you can get some real nice views.
