Michael---so true about loving stars---reminds me of life on the mtn.---nights outside were ALWAYS special.

You're right about the light pollution...

Thank you for thoughts from Galileo.

No light pollution here, and yes, some visitors are afraid of the dark,they would feel more comfortable if I kept the outside lights on over night.

Is anyone afraid of the dark anymore? This happened to one of my children.

Well yes, going from a cabin to an outhouse in the middle of the night, in the middle of the woods, close the door with the half moon carved out and a bird flies up your a@@ as you sit down. No matter how bright the stars or clear the skies, that little half moon never let in enough light.
