Bit of an odd question: a good night sky in Indonesia

Hey all, I’m currently planning my yearly trip somewhere.

This year I had a hard time picking a place of the many I want to see. In the end I took the “safe” option for a solo traveller (in terms of how much flexibility and options I will have at the destination) and booked the mainstream option to Indonesia. I have never been to Indonesia. I’m excited to explore the country. There are a few things I want to see, and I am happy to do my own research for those. However, I do have this one longing, which is to see a proper night sky again some time. It’s been actual years since I have seen the Milky Way. I miss it. It’s an incredibly humbling experience and I want that again.

I am aware that Indonesia might not be the number one choice of places to go for that. I was looking at Kyrgyzstan or Mongolia but ultimately decided that those two destinations are best done with a travel partner.

So my question is this: is there a place in Indonesia where I would get a good chance of very little to no light pollution, and if so, where? I would like to include that in my planning.

I have three weeks in Indonesia and I’m going in September. I’d be grateful for any advice I could get here :)
