Nice photos!<p>I just got back from a trip to Zion National Park where I shot the Milky Way one night. It was clearly visible with the naked eye every night.<p>National Parks are a great place for night photography because they&#x27;re usually 10s to 100s of square miles with no lights. Even Joshua Tree which is near Palm Springs is pretty good. You can see the light from both Vegas and Los Angeles from it, but in the right spot in the park you get some very dark skies.
