Geoff,
This is awesome! I knew we had the ability to head up there, "unofficially," whenever the weather looked cooperative, but to see it stated officially is great.
I really think Stone Tavern is going to take off in terms of being a dark-sky haven for observers in the NYC-metro area. Honestly, the skies are awesome and I would rather pay the extra money and only drive 2.5 hours than 5+ hours to Cherry Springs (no disgrace to CS, it's just too far). Plus, after spending 5+ hours in the car I'm usually wiped out and the last thing I would be considering at that point is doing an all-nighter. Plus I have to take a full-day off of work to head out there with enough time to set up before it gets dark, to get a good spot on the field and to have enough time to grill up some dinner.
With Stone Tavern I can take 1/2-day from work on a Friday, get home, load the scope and camping gear and be up there by 5pm with plenty of time to set up the equipment, do dinner and relax before it gets dark.
I know where I'm planning to head for September and October's New Moon weekends!
