Erik said - Did you try any stargazing from Dantes View?
No. I was actually working on the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge which is just on the edge of Death Valley. Unfortunately it was a "Real" work trip, with all day in the field and then computer work extending into the wee hours of the morning. My only stargazing was standing outside the office, for a few moments, enjoying the spectacular views of the sky. There is almost no light pollution and the stars looked really solid in the sky.... none of that wobbling that is so common here. I actually joked with the project leader that we should build a remote observatory at the site. I think the sky is clear about %95 of the time at that location. What would that be like?! Cheers, Tyler
