Yea, it is REAL dark out there. To get an idea how long ago it was, we went out there to get a better look at Halley's comet. We found a lot of Messier objects that you can't see from the metro area. That is one of my many hobbies I just don't have time for anymore.
One of the guys in the astronomy club made a comment that I will always remember. He said it is the best hobby in the world if you want to cheat on your wife. You load up some equipment and stay out all night. When you come home you say "wow the viewing was GREAT last night !"
