In Search of the Darkest Skies

press release: Presented by John Rummel

The night sky is under attack. Are pristine dark skies still available? Are there any within easy reach of southern Wisconsin? This presentation will focus on issues related to locating the remaining dark sky enclaves that can be found within the continental United States (including right here around southern Wisconsin), and some of the logistical and planning issues involved in getting to them. Rummel will also show a selection of night-sky shots obtained from some favorite dark-sky destinations.
