TJ, the sky seems a bit busy, no wait, not busy but...Hmmm...stars are usually in clusters, only because light from the brightest reach us here on earth, so only a few will really stand out. Ok, if you live in an area that's outside of the city luminescense, you'll be able to see what I mean. This pic is simplified (2color) but it might help. Also, you have an enormous resource in the library (as in public) to reference stuff like this. I'm lucky, I live in a rural area at a high altitutde, so the Milky Way looks close enough to touch on a really cool clear night :) I like the twilight effect...
