I lived in Oklahoma for over three years - not quite Arizona but my location wasn't bad. I got some pretty clear skies (could see the Milky Way from my backyard ) and got to see plenty of delicious DSO's I never saw from England

Alas, now I'm in Louisville - the 16th largest city in the US - and the skies suck LOL

I'm actually moving to Arizona in 2 weeks! I just got my first scope and have only been able to use it once. It's been nothing but 90-100% cloud cover ever since I received it, so I feel your pain. I expect Arizona will be much more clear.
