The most incredible night sky I've seen is on the top of Mt John (there's a small observatory) on the southern island of New Zealand. Mauna Kea wasn't close.

You could see the band of the milky away across the sky. It was like something from Hubble.

There's nothing like looking up in the sky and getting some perspective.

I could very clearly see the bands of the Milky Way from the summit of Haleakala. My wife initially thought it was a cloud.
