I don't care who supplies the data to you.

It's what you do with that data that matters.

Just magnificent. I want to lie on my back and see this spectacle enfolding me horizon to horizon. Impossible dream.

I live in a place where there really isn't light pollution, there are two streetlights down the hill but that's it. I can see everything when it's clear, these are more than one can see with the naked eye but it shows how intense it feels, especially when I get out the binos, it's intense.

Great picture!
