How dark is the sky over Miami?
Sky class (estimate)Bortle 9 · Inner-city sky
A coastal Bortle 8–9 strip; the Everglades to the west are darker.
Even on the clearest, Moonless night, a bright city sky limits what you can see. For the Milky Way and faint stars from Miami, you'll want to reach a darker site — see the options below.
