And the largest so far. Simply wonderful news. I think I'll just dri e down there and celebrate. Dark skies.

I showed a lot of brighter objects until 9PM. Went to bed got up at 2AM and had a great time by myself looking at the dimer stuff. There wasn't any light coming from the rest of the campground then. I couldn't see a light dome on any horizon.
