It's an interesting experience where you live in a place to pick out the usual constellations like you mentioned and get used to finding them with ease, but take the trip to the dark sky spots and be blown away how those seem to disappear in the noise of the rest of the sky. It always takes a wee bit for me to get my bearings. And I love having to do it each time as it reminds me to slow down and enjoy being away from it all to where that view is possible.
