Yes Jase it does show what we are missing. Hiro goes to great lengths to take his equipment to dark sky sites. These images were taken In WA in Australia. He has collected data at 10,000 ft on THE mountain in Hawaii in the shadow of the observatories there.

THe LMC and SMC were low when these images were taken. I can only imagine what would be possible when they are near or at the zenith.
