OMG, you reminded me of the Magellenic Clouds! THOSE are the most amazing things in a pristine night sky! And Omega Centauri, which is in reality the biggest, baddest globular cluster in the sky, and easy naked eye object even from the suburbs of a large city. And NGC 5128, a giant elliptical galaxy in the southern sky, never seen by those who live north of me in central Florida. All this stuff is child's play with the naked eye in the southern hemisphere and a quarter of the northern hemisphere. A sky without them is most disorienting and unfortunate.
