Mmm..nope. The Milky Way cannot cast shadows visible to the human eye, it’s around magnitude 5. Even if it was possible (and it isn’t) there are many much brighter stars in the sky that would cast a stronger shadow. I saw a shadow cast from a meteor that was around -7 magnitude, so brighter than Venus, but I don’t think I ever saw a shadow cast by a star, even Sirius that is -1.6 if I recall correctly. Although I have never been in an area mapped as black, the darkest that I have been for star gazing was the dark green accordingly to the map.
