Could you see this with your eyes or only on the phone? I was about at your latitude but more light pollution, so I thought maybe that was the culprit.

It is definitely more exaggerated through the phone. In person, it was about half as bright/vivid — though still incredible.

Thought I did look for a suitable dark site/sufficiently low enough Bortle-scale value area. Rather difficult in the DMV.
