brantuk Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi Pinkf and welcome to SGL I'm not familiar with your area but there's some pretty rural areas about 20 miles directly north of you that look like they might be fairly dark.A good idea to kick off with would be to download "Stellarium". It's free and will show you how the sky looks from your precise location.If you are intending to get any equipment (binocs, scopes, etc) then post your questions here with some idea of budget and someone will be along to help soon.Enjoy the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
