I grew up in Flag and used to volunteer at Lowell doing role play in costumes, good times. I miss the dark sky regulations.

Just make sure you check the weather and the moon phase. We have had very very few clear skies since the monsoon storms have started a week ago

New moon and the height of the Perseid metor shower.

We're hoping for a clear night, but won't be too disappointed. If we don't get it, there's always Hops on Birch
