One of the unfortunate things about living in the city is that you see no stars. Only stars you see here is at the planetarium. Oh yeah, I didn't see stars, that was the Pink Floyd laser light show. But I have been there.
The best place to go and see stars in So cal is out in Mojave Desert. I have been waaaaaaaaay out there and the visibility is incredible. I like to break out my astrology book and try and name all that I can.
i got that same feeling when i left 'here' for a month out to the new mexico middle of no where desert... i was only 9 if that.. and it was the most beautiful sight of my entire life... and that image is still in my mind, always. i even tried to mimic it, with my room, by putting glow in the dark stars everywhere... out there except for the ground eveyrthing was covered in stars.. i mean the only place you could look and NOT see them was to look at the ground... i miss it too :/
