Finally, after several attempts
From Joshua Tree National Park this Saturday night. The darkness there is rated blue on the light pollution maps, although I was looking in a favorable direction to the northeast away from the light domes.
Saw a small area of nebulosity. Noted the area and double checked against some photos to confirm. The appearance was more like a small galaxy you might see in a galaxy cluster like the Coma Cluster, or an HII region of M33 but dimmer. Nothing at all like the photographs of course.
