Observing site list?????

[StevenA (Steven)]

Hey folks, why not make a list of Observing sites? It could be divided into categories like, Free, Powered, Ammendities, Camping with or without full ammendities; Places out in the middle of nowhere, Farmers who let you set up on their property etc. It could help lots of people who feel they are stuck in their backyards. It could help start observing groups and friendships. I personally do not have the computer skills to pull this off and I do not have a website to start one. So maybe someone could do this. StevenA

Great idea. I don't have any myself at the moment.

Ok i have tralled through coutless threads looking for any titled "Observing sites near XYZ" and "Dark skies near ABC" and i have started compiling them into a word doc so i can search for them all and get there rough areas and directions/costs and amenities.

It is coming lol it's just gunna take a while.

Good work, guys. This is a great idea.

You can add Honeysuckle Creek in there, for the ACT.

There is several camping grounds there. Unpowered, and one of them has amenities. $5 a night for camping.
