Beautiful site—milky way, though not visible to unaided eye, was just visible in binoculars; made me think of the title of a science fiction story I read years ago:  “The Stars, Like Dust.” In binoculars, stars visible to almost mag. 9. With unaided eye, stars visible to about 4.5 in area of Deneb (nearly-full moonglow washed out area of Albireo at the other end of Cygnus).
