If anyone is an “amateur” stargazer near Pittsburgh and has no city lights blocking their view…go outside and take a look at the sky tonight. Simply amazing clarity, which is rare in PA. And, no, I’m not :shaggy: right now. ---

If you really enjoy it, sometiem take a ride up to Cherry Springs, PA … i’ve heard from lots and lots of ppl that its been rated the best spot in the United States for stargazing… Its a pretty good ride from here, but apparently worth it… b/c there are thousands of motorhomes show up when they have special weekends for it… Its in Potter County, PA… little southeast of Coudersport ---

Darkstar is a professional meatgazer… Does that count?
