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 Bruce Hugo Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science. - Edwin Powell Hubble ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:55:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Government funded observing platforms Message-ID: <1377626143.14666.YahooMailNeo@web125102.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I thought Tucson was the Arizona city with good light ordinances. -- Joe
