The Milky Way is exceptionally bright, with tremendous structure and contrast between the obscured and unobscured regions. The Milky Way can be seen extending from horizon to horizon. The starry sky casts noticeable shadows. You can easily see your nearby surroundings by nothing more than the light of the Milky Way. Your horizons are utterly black.
Low clouds appear pitch black against the sky.
Thin cirrus layers do not significantly diminish the view. Unlike light polluted areas, haze does not significantly affect sky quality at night for stars that are not too close to the horizon. The zodiacal light can be easily seen, stretching high up into the sky.
