This is the link to the most recent "DARK SKY MAP". The 3-D Version is will not work if you are using the Chrome Browser. It may take a few seconds for the maps to load and the legend is below the map.

Regardless - dark skies make very little difference when it rains every night and clouds are 50 percent and greater - which has been the case for 5 weeks straight.

It makes me want to scream POO POO!

Like they say in Real Estate....
"It's Location, Location, Location....."

You're drowning in rain, and we are fartin dust...
But clear skies...

Well, Mount Pinos.
A lot of Astronomy Clubs like to frequent the large parking area on the top of the mountain.

Thanks to Ed for the new information link.
And Sonny, It looks like RED light pollution to me.

Edit note.. interesting so many people are lit up as well and that's not red light.

Yep! Ole Frazier is looking betta and betta! My home is on a RED zone.....but after midnight the sky has lost a stop of light....I guess fewer cars on road and home lights get a rest.

It works with Chrome - you just cannot get the 3 D look for what ever that's worth!
