Ann, I have a lot of customers in that part of the state. They are always looking for something new to shoot at. Perhaps turning out the lights in Moab, one light at a time, might be more challenging than say hitting a stop sign. What night did you want to hold this event? ;) Just kidding... or, am I??? ;) Quoting Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com>:
Just to play devil's advocate here, what's the main point of such star-parties, Ann? Public relations & education (community outreach), or personal gratification? Is it Lowell's position that the club should only conduct a star-party at a particular location if the sky is up to a certain high standard?
If so, one would think that this would make a good rallying point for local light-pollution reduction efforts in Moab (and lots of other rural areas).

However, when I reported this news to President Lyon, he stated that as he remembers his viewing days there the southern exposure suffered from Moab city glow.
