Located at longitude -75.952170 and latitude 44.625880, would the Milky Way ever appear in my section of sky. Thanks in advance. REJ

Yes ,though it’s getting a little late in the year for the galactic center.
I have shot Milky Way pics at Taquamenon in October.
Edit: Guardineer makes a good point, light pollution may be an issue. I tried your long-latt in google maps but didn’t get a location.

Look to the South about 10 pm (between Jupiter SSW and Saturn SSE). Find an area free of city light polution. Allow time to adjust your eyes to night vision, a half hour in near darkness, to appreciate the night sky. The sky will be darkest between 11 pm and moonrise which will be about 2am

Can't say, but I use Stellarium as my finder/guidance program.
Helps me go-to anything in my field of view for my location.
