Dave, are the stars as visible to the naked eye (or through binocs) when you're out there, or does it require that 15-30 second exposure to show them that well?
I've been told that when you get a long ways away from civilization in places like rural Montana, the skies look like that at night and you can clearly see the MW. I gots ta see that someday.
