I have been away the last couple of days on business and stayed last night at Ballarat. I went for a drive 30 min out of town and spent an hour under the DARK sky with my 7x50 binoculars.
The LMC and SMC were as obvious as the proverbial dogs b____, and the milky way stretching brightly from horizon to horizon.

This is how I wish the sky looked all the time.
Nah I can find it alright.
I'm just too lazy to get up in time when it's in a good spot to view. Unfortunately I can't usually see much towards the horizon in all directions (and I can't see W-N at all thanks to trees).
