andrzejp 9 Posted September 4, 2018 [[show-photo-18494265]] Hi Tony, Thank You very much. 150 miles from a significant light source - Las Vegas.Hi Frere, Thanks a lot, it was a very long drive on a dirt road 45 miles after 30 miles on a remote highway , see the photo of the endless road through the desert. Hi Bernardo Thank you very much, I placed a small gas lantern behind the tent to make it visible. Link to comment
tonychristians 136 Posted September 4, 2018 Andrew, I can't wait to get out to some of the parks in southern Utah to get some views like that. We do have a couple of parks here in northern Utah that are designated as Dark Sky parks, but between Ogden and Salt Lake City, there's still enough light pollution to prevent getting something quite like that.

andrzejp 9 Posted September 4, 2018 Hi Tony, I took some pictures at location that was much easier to access, but you could see the orange glow near the horizon from Las Vegas about 120 miles away. This location if further but sand dunes that rise suddenly more than 680 feet above the dry lakebed provide some shielding which makes a big difference. You have to consider the time of the year. Milky way is best viewed is summer or late spring. It is mostly hidden below horizon in winter and early spring. You also don't want the moon to be in the sky or anywhere near horizon.

Zbigniew Tyburczy - ZT 6 Posted September 5, 2018 Andrew, Simply amazing work! I love the idea with placing gas lantern right behind the tent. Congrats, ZT, Link to comment
tonychristians 136 Posted September 5, 2018 Andrew, I've been on a plane flying about a hundred miles away from Las Vegas at night and you could see how bright it was. No doubt when you're leaving the shutter open for any time at all there would be a lot of residual light coming through. Link to comment
