Tuscon has very tight light ordinances due to Kitt Peak. I was at Kitt Peak in 2004 and was impressed by Tuscon's lighting. Though, even with the light ordinances I'm sure Tuscon's growth and the subsequent light is affecting Kitt Peak.
My girlfriend (now wife) and I spent the night with Adam Block on the 20" visitors scope doing some astrophotography. An amazing night is all I can say! Here is one of the 3 photos that were taken that night: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap040409.html

Beautiful 'picture, Bruce. I was in Tucson earlier this year for the NEAF-type show and was impressed with the city. Just no time to visit Kitt, but did get some time on the Clark in Flagstaff. Hope to get back there next year. 73
