When out at night, I always keep one eye (sometimes both) to the sky as you never know what you'll see. One of my most memorable views was of the comet Hale-Bopp back in '97. I just happened to be in the wilderness of Idaho so no light pollution, also no moon, of any kind. The view of this comet was unbelievable. The forked tails literally stretched across 40% of the sky.
The numbers of other celestial objects (stars, Milky Way galaxy, planets, etc) are also unimaginable when one removes light pollution.
