Congrats on the move! I'm sure that a few of us would love to drive there to visit for a night,  Best wishes, Joe --- On Sat, 6/27/09, Stephen Peterson <summitek@mindspring.com> wrote: From: Stephen Peterson <summitek@mindspring.com> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Dark Skies To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Date: Saturday, June 27, 2009, 6:40 PM Just returned from taking possession of our new house about 5 miles S of Hurricane (don't Taser me) Utah. Got up at midnight with the moon just setting and lighting the Hurricane Cliffs. I swear the Milky Way was so bright it might have been casting a shadow! So many stars that I was confused (more than normal) as to what constellations I was looking at! WOW, right decision to move there. As we get settled in, a future invite to SLAS members to visit and set up for observation and photography. So far, no rattlesnakes or scorpions in the back yard.
