Yeaa, for those you need to do long exposures, having the right lens with infinite focus (that's as far as my knowledgeon goes) ... I never tried it but I sure want to.
Also make sure the sky is clear and within 3 to 4 days before or after a new moon so you get as little light reflected from the moon as possible. The less light that enters the camera from the moon the more brilliant the milky way will be.
I like all types of skies actually, but more into drama clouds during sunsets and sunrises.
I have quite a few sunset photos, they are much easier to get than Milky way photos

Cool tip, @azfix. That I didn't know. I guess every detail counts on that type of photography.
ha ha , yes I learned it all the hard way so I try and save people new to it the trouble.
A noble thing to do, most people hide their knowledge, or at least don't pass it on.
How long are your exposures?
