On the other hand, it might be dark enough. If it is a lot closer (for
me, Hallettsville is a lot closer than Galveston) then I would suggest
checking it out and seeing if it's dark enough. Try to go in the dark of
the moon, o

I was the assistant instructor in a night sky and Milky Way photography
course and workshop for 10 years. Ron's recommendations are all quite

Most of our courses were taught in Big Bend, but we also did Death
Valley, Grand Tetons, Palo Duro

Last time I saw the Milky Way was 8000 feet up in the Andies in Peru. A
whole lot of other stars too. I stopped counting at 254,362 stars and went
to bed.
Cool map indeed! Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who offered their suggestions. This was really educational.
I believe we will head for Hallettsville, though I am not sure where exactly I
should be once I get there.
I remember seeing the Milky Way in Barbados when I was about 10. It was like a
ring sun running east to west
