Archie, seeing how none of them come with...

a move package, I can't recommend any of them for you! vbg

Now if you lived in a skywatch-friendly State, like Mark and myself (NM and AZ), it would be a different story all together.

As a side note, Southern Arizona (SoAz) is soooo skywatch-friendly many areas have adopted laws and regulations that prohibit street lights except in a specific light-wave frequency. This is iontended to reduce light emission contamination to the observatories in this part of the country. The observatories have special filters, tuned to that light-wave frequency, to allow them a better viewing capability.

Aside from the oppressive summer heat here, I was more shocked of the night time darkness here. Unless there is cloud cover, I can see the Milky Way every night here in Tucson, with the naked eye. And what has been exceptionally cool, is to see the Space Shuttle/Space Station mass pass overhead at certain, optimal times! vbg
