I had that view while I was in the Navy.  I almost have as good of a view out on my rural property.  The only "light pollution" that I usually have is my campfire and the only other obstruction is the trees.

You’ve disclosed the area of your property to me before.  Is it really that “dark” without the light pollution?  I’ve not traveled a whole lot in my day.  I’ve been a “city boy” and lived in some of the bigger cities in the nation.  Spent 7 years in the woods of Callahan/Hilliard.  They had more stars in the sky than I’ve ever seen. But nothing like I’ve seen online/tv of what a pure night sky looks like without the light pollution.  I’ve seen images of some desolate places where you can actually see the Milky Way in the night sky.  Absolutely beautiful and makes one think on all kinds of levels. Especially spiritually.  If one was a religious man.
