It was another clear night and I was letting my dog out before heading to bed when I looked up and saw the milky way- clear as day- right above my house (360 degrees azimuth, 85 degree altitude). I was so amazed, I knew immediately that's what it was, I didn't even have to double check with the computer. It was like a faint fog or thin cloud behind the stars. I know that I have seen it before, I just never knew what it was. I've always thought things like the milky way, comets etc. were things that had to be seen with a good telescope. Now I know all you need is to be at the right place at the right time and to just look up!
