Where your favorite blogs come alive
You actually don't have to go far out from the city to get good views! 20 minute drive or so from New York, Bortle 1-3 skies! (Bortle is a light pollution scale, 1 is perfect 9 is terrible)
Just drive out a bit and boom! Good skies. You should try doing it some more if you can. I find it quite relaxing.
Have you ever tried stargazing?
Ever? Yes. The rare times I've gone stargazing has been really fun. I remember going someplace really dark and camping, and seeing part of the Milky Way with my naked eyes! So magical. ^__^
Light pollution sucks. Otherwise I'd want to go stargazing at every opportunity!
