Dark rural skies are great. Many kids living in cities have never seen the Milky Way, which is one of the spiral arms of our own galaxy. We often go to a rural site at the 7000’ elevation. It’s spectacular.
Yes, but you certainly don't need dark skies to see this pair. In fact, it might be difficult to spot them in very dark country skies with so many other stars visible. They should be easily seen from just about anywhere.
