The night astro expedition was very hazy. At least some haze is pretty standard here nearly every day of the year. I've seen about three clear days in the last 11 months Sometimes visibility down to under a km. Also, although it was about the darkest location in Northern Israel based on the light pollution map, I could see the distant lights of around 200,000 houses, shops etc. all around.
Beautiful area The Galilee !
Yes I can imagine it's near impossible to find dark skies there and I remember the haze.

Thanks for the update and keep us posted (with photos too).
