Wish you could come to Australia sometime and see the southern Milky Way. You'd love it. When we camped out last Easter weekend on Whitsunday islands, the view was just spectacular - the nearest human-made lights were at least 20 km away. Our neighbour, a very excited young Brit, set up his DSLR camera on a tripod on the beach, and was playing with the settings. It's amazing just how many more stars his camera picked up, the sky was almost solid white in the centre of Milky way! And all those stars are coloured - red, blue, green, even pink or purple.
