You dont need be a genius... dont being a complet moron is enough, i tell you... dont abandon your hope before trying, man!
Try it, see if you can stand the hardness of the math, and only give up if you really cant stand it...

Anyway... even if i live in a huge city (10M+ people), i live in a somewhat retired area, so when the weather is dry i can see lots of stars. Even some cloud-like things that are the milky way... of course they are not like that picture, but brilliant enough for being visible.

Once i went to a place in the mountains, and did see the most starry sky i ever seen... it was awesome... like that picture... there was so much stars i couldnt even recognize the constellations... the sky wasnt black, but some very dark grey... i could see the outline of trees framed against the sky... and falling stars... lots of them... if i were given to making wishes for each one i did see, i could have all my problems solved in just one night... That was one of the most amazing nights i ever did see...
