One note QD, from the mountain the lights of El Paso (~200 mi) are visible to the west and the lights of the oil fields about ~80-100 miles north are also visible on clear evenings....Cheers

Check the months the Milky Way will be visible. The night we were there the Milky Way looked like it was only about a mile away, so close there was no way one could get it all in a single photo. Why I didn't get any photos. Evening was cloudy and rainy and looked like no photo possibility, thus Star Party was planed inside. The camera left in car. Announcement made the sky had cleared. Stepped outside and had my breath taken away with the Milky Way beauty. Ran for the car to get camera, looked up in time to see cloud cover returning. Stayed clouded over the remainder of the evening.

Absolutely, the MW looked like you could touch it, however it was clear and mighty cold the night we went, the concrete benches were brutally cold...

We even watched the ISS fly over, crystal clear and Andromeda, even thru binoculars, was so spectacular.
