Fraser, have you done a video (I don't remember one) about the upcoming collision of Milkyway and Andromeda? With a graphic simulation? If not, we need one.
One of the great things about where I live is that I can see the Milky Way from my yard. I never saw it in the suburban area where I lived as a kid.
In any discussion of spiral galaxies, it is disappointing not to hear the word "flocculent" :-)
Where is the link to the dark sky finder that you mentioned?
There are lots of light pollution resources.
