Just to play devil's advocate here, what's the main point of such star-parties, Ann? Public relations & education (community outreach), or personal gratification? Is it Lowell's position that the club should only conduct a star-party at a particular location if the sky is up to a certain high standard? If so, one would think that this would make a good rallying point for local light-pollution reduction efforts in Moab (and lots of other rural areas). --- Ann House <ann@annhouse.org> wrote:
