The wife and I are headed out to Westcliffe, CO tomorrow for 5 days to do some serious stargazing. Westcliffe is one of only nine Certified Dark Sky Communities in the world. There is a 14" astronomical telescope there and we have booked a private "Star Party" event there for tomorrow night for a couple of hours. Then on Friday night, June 7, there is a public star party, again centered around the telescope area. We have rented a cabin about 8 miles north of town up in the mountains, it ought to be a fun time. We fly into Denver in the morning then reserved a mid-size SUV for the 3 hour drive to Westcliffe. I'll post pics and impressions when we get back.
