Greetings,
I just added the Ft. Union site on the Dark Sky Finder. We found it a Bortle Class 2 site, small light dome from closest city
and flat horizon. Albuquerque's light dome is at 240*.
Check out: http://www.jshine.net/astronomy/dark_sky/index.php?lat=35.83228833783694&lng=-105.01419067382812&zoom=11
Dark skies,
TomT

This is a great web site and I love it. I live in a white zone and our clubs dark sky site is in a yellow zone. No fun! I have a question though. How can you print out the map with the colored zones showing up? I would really like to print out our clubs site to show other members.
Thanks, Buddy

Overlay the Light Pollution map of Cinzano's on Google Earth, then find your location,
position it properly to suit and do a screen grab. Print that.

Greetings all,
I just uploaded a new Ft. Collins hemisphere to Google Earth Community.
This one lists only the Net Light Pollution. As bad as it looks, it's not a bad location,
considering how close it is to town.

Found jshine's link extremely helpful. Thank you very much.

But, no comments here in a couple years.
Wondering if there any updates to that map.
(Unfortunately, I'm in the Bortle red zone -- Las Vegas (Summerlin), NV. And, if I wanted to build a small observatory an hour away, I would worry about police protection and vandalism)
