Our place is practically in total darkness but the campfire at night. We can see the stars and the satelites really clear. We usually do contests who can spot the first satelite or how many one can spot. Last year we saw a unique one came from the NW to SE it was 3 spaced off in a triangular shape all moving as one it seemed. Sometimes the kids can get a bit edgy when we spot a meteor and they don't but they're so quick they can't adjust very fast to view them. We've caught the northern lights just a few times up there. Would love to see them again. We were home last year when it was really brilliant even at home in MA.
