Hello All, I am new to the astronomy scene here, after moving from the east coast. I live in Salt Lake and have been taking my 8" dob out to the Lakeside site near Dugway for about a year. I am looking for other site suggestions, as well as other people to go out with. I am only able to go out on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. Any suggestions for other sites that are not heavily polluted would be appreciated. Thanks, Chrismo
Welcome to the list, Chrismo. I do my viewing and photography from my observatory, so I am no help with site selection. But, I am sure that others will chime in.

Chrismo: Welcome to the list. Keep watching here, you will see others posting where they are observing and looking for others to share the night with them. Sunday, Tues are not the most popular nights but some do go out on those night. Also post where you are observing and others may join you.
