- Atacama Desert (close to the Paranal and Armazones E-ELT)
- Australian Outback
- South African Karoo
- La Palma in Canary Islands
- Dome C BUT this is a VERY COLD place (75 S, 123 E, 3500m alt) very isolated in Antarctica but is probably the best sky viewing place in the world

All these four I have been but not in Dome C
