Being in the Northeast USA which has some of the most densely populated areas, there is a lot of light pollution. It is hard to find really dark skies that are ideal for astronomy but, that changes when one travels out to Maine. We have vacationed in Bar Harbor near Acadia National Park over many summers and I have seen some of the darkest skies in Acadia NP. On a moonless night, the Milky Way galaxy just pops out at you. I have tried taking Milky Way photos several times but, the 2020 version is probably the best partly because of a new camera (Nikon Z6) that has a more sensitive sensor. Looking forward to going back to Acadia this year again and planning to do more astrophotography.
