Can the "Milky Way" galaxy be seen by the naked eye in a clear sky? Is this photo "real"? Are the stars not super-imposed in the image?
   
 A: Not quite like in the photo above, which shows more than what the naked eye can see, but yes, absolutely! Our galaxy (well, the chunk of it visible from these parts) is a naked-eye object. The fact that your question even exists shows how much time is now spent by people under light-polluted skies.
It will not be visible from the city, however. You need to drive an hour (or two, if you live in a huge urban area) to the country side, far from city lights. Stay outside in full darkness for a few minutes, then look up. There will be a faint "river" of light crossing the sky. That's the Milky way. Full dark adaptation occurs after 30 minutes of not seeing any source of light, but this is not required for seeing our galaxy.
While you're in a dark sky area, also look up the Andromeda galaxy, a.k.a. M31.

I mean, if you can see M31 with the naked eye, at 2 mil light-years away, then of course you can see Milky Way, which is basically in our backyard.
Here's a light pollution map, not very recent, but still useful:

Can the "Milky Way" galaxy be seen by the naked eye in a clear sky?

Yes. I live in rural Ontario, Canada, and see the Milky Way naked eye every clear moonless night from my deck.

Is this photo "real"? Are the stars not super-imposed in the image?

Yes, the photo is real. This is a time exposure, fairly short, guided on the stars. If you look at it closely, you will see that the stars and the Milky Way are extremely sharp, but the observatory buildings are blurred, because the camera was guided on the stars, which were moving because of the Earth's rotation, so that the buildings "trailed." This is probably a single exposure, not any sort of combination of images or PhotoShop manipulation. My friend Terry Dickinson produces images like this all the time—this may in fact be one of his images. The diagonal line is a laser mounted on the telescope in the dome, used for image stabilization.
A: Certainly, low light and taking and good "heaven", you can see much of the Milky Way. the only thing you need to know is to know where to look.
However, some parts of it are brighter than others. The center of the galaxy is the most spectacular and is in the same direction as the constellation Sagittarius.
This area of ​​the sky can be seen every year in early March just before dawn. In July and August appears high in the sky. On a clear dark night and stands out as a vapor cloud within the Milky Way itself.
The cloud is interstellar dust and prevents us from seeing the center, which lies 27,000 light-years away. What we see is the spiral arm of the galaxy called the Sagittarius arm formed by stars, star clusters and nebulae.
A: In fact, the Milky Way is one of the most interesting naked eye sights in the night sky. However, it's not bright, and it's not always well placed to be seen.

A: Yes, the Milky Way can be seen quite clearly from earth.  You just need to go somewhere dark. In fact, the name "Milky Way" is derived from its appearance in the sky (it looks like a milky path, or "way", in the sky).  The Chinese name for the Milky Way is the "Silver River," an alternate description for its appearance in the sky.  Both these names predate telescopes (the first known reference to the Milky Way is in a work by Chaucer), providing very roundabout proof that the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye on earth.
