It must have been much easier to see the stars with only the particulate pollution from the fire and no ambient light except for what bounced off the moon.
Ah, to be a shepherd in times of yore! To see a clear sky in the isolated high pastures and, unwary, have my throat torn out by a large wild predator!
Well... maybe modern times have their charm as well...
