comment: I saw it while at Big Bend Natl Park last week.  Big Bend has super dark skies.  Visible with the naked eye,  but not much more than a smudge.   Better with binoculars, but cool nonetheless.   You'll need to go away from cities and towns to see it.  Tonight is max visibility.  Get one of those star gazing apps on your phone to locate it,  it won't be obvious.
