Matt, Thanks for the light pollution perspective on Ft. Collins. It was hard for me to know as I didn't really know what to compare it to. You're right though, up in the mountains on a clear night the view is astounding. It's too bad you didn't get to stay a little longer to see it for yourself. I guess I'll have to pack up my scope and head up there. If it wasn't such a chore getting it into my small car I'd have done it already. Clear skies, Brad
