Hi Dave,
Hope you can make it on this little trip.
No, we don't get much if any skyglow at Bretti at all.
I think there was a little cloud low on the horizon and some lightning off in the distance that night.
When the weather co-operates the sky is very dark there.

Hi Glen,
Hope you can come.
The farmer next door often runs a few horses and/or cattle on the field at Bretti. I don't know if this will be an issue for your pooch? But other campers have dogs there occasionally, without incident. There is certainly plenty of open space for it to run around (although preferably not at night time )

BTW: This is not a sanctioned IIS Event as such. It is just a bunch of us, getting away with similar interest. No rules. No Formalities. But general courtesy and mateship are appreciated.

See you there.
