@wohali unfortunately most of us now have to travel a great deal to get away from light pollution.

@evilscientistca I live right in downtown Toronto. I guess the "good news" is that I can go North and get dark pretty quickly as the population drops off...

@wohali Though the downside is you still have to look over Toronto's light dome. Calgary is also bad but I can go south without getting my feet wet 😉

@evilscientistca Depends how far north I go, surely? What about, say, Thunder Bay north?

Of course, south of here, even if it wasn't wet, there's Buffalo and Niagara Falls... :/

@wohali At our observatory Okotoks (pop ~30k) has a significant light dome. Northern Ontario would do wonderfully. Very little light up there outside of the major centres. Bit of a drive though.

@evilscientistca I'm a private pilot, my dream is to plan personal flights up there someday...

Too bad motion tracking isn't capable of letting me do observations directly from a Cessna.

@wohali Works for SOFIA 😉

@evilscientistca I'll take their budget!

@wohali If you go here:

you can see where the dark is.

@evilscientistca thanks!
