That has to be corrected. You just have to get out under dark skies. Even if there were no Milky Way, the number of stars under dark skies is mind boggling.

I was thinking about this very thing the other night. Even though I have a great night window and do see a lot, I sooo wish there wasn't light pollution. It seems there are so few stars visible most nights. Sigh.....
