I've long been interested in astronomy, and lately I've been meaning to take up some astrophotography, and though I have a camera and a telescope, I unfortunately live in a big city, right across from an even bigger city (Manhattan). The end result is that there's so much light pollution it's not really worth trying anything.<br> <br> I have a car, and I'd like to be able to take myself, the telescope, and the camera and go somewhere less light-polluted, with a clear view of the sky, but I have no idea what places fit the bill.<br> <br> I live in Hoboken, and I'm looking for somewhere within about an hour's drive. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.80045 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 08:37:37 -0800 NJ newjersey stargazing astrophotography darksky darkskies Godbert
