Light pollution is absolutely horrible. Many people have not even seen the milky way with their own eyes.
Some pos golfclub insists on keeping their lights on. Even though the observatory was there firsrt.
I really want to just be able go somewhere and spend the night under the stars but looking at a light pollution map for my area it just isn’t really something that’s feasible

If you are talking about this map; I saw the milky way in a blue area during the summer when there weren't any clouds. So in most cases you don't really have to travel too far, just need to get lucky with the weather.
I have to practically leave the state then some. The map bullshit nowhere can I see stars in Oklahoma.
I’m in the middle of the Mississippi basin so yeah looks like it’d be a long trip for me
I'm not sure about the accuracy of the map.
