After trying to shoot the Milky Way from my backyard versus a dark sky park in Utah, the difference in detail is just insane.
The $200 I spent on gas to drive out there was worth it because the park's zero light pollution let my camera pick up colors and dust lanes my suburban sky just completely washes out, so has anyone else made a similar trip that changed their shots?

Oh my gosh, yes! I drove four hours to a state park last fall and it was a total game changer. The Orion Nebula went from a fuzzy gray blob to having actual pink and blue hints. It makes you want to just keep driving further out.

Remember that golden color @matthew339 mentioned? I saw it too, on a trip to the mountains. The Milky Way wasn't just white, it looked like someone dusted the whole band with faint, glowing rust. Makes you realize how much color our eyes are missing at home.

Totally get that! I did a long drive to the desert last year and was blown away. Suddenly the Milky Way had all this structure and a golden color I'd never seen from town. It really does feel like a different sky out there.
