re: #20 sattv4u2

Up until i moved to Georgia about 11 years ago, I’ve always lived in or near enough to big cities that the heavens majesty was always somewhat obscured. Traveling around the country back then I always envied “country folk” for their view of the sky at night
HAd the option to buy close to Atlanta or out in the country. Country won! 1st purchase we made was a high powered telescope for our new home

I think the best view i ever had was sleeping outside when i went bouldering at Joshua tree a while ago. nothing like really dry air and zero ambient light to make the most of the heavens.
