Default A star to steer by!

I thought it was amazing that at about 180 miles off Los Angeles I could see
the LA light dome out that far... something glowing in the distance. Cool
map! Thanks!

Many have never seen a dark sky......... Thats criminal.

The map says I'm not going to see many stars until I get offshore 5-10
miles min around here.

Running the Gulf it often becomes easy to navigate by cities glowing
over the horizion.
Freeport has an orange glow, Galveston white, Sargent yellow dimish,
from 30 +miles out

Check out this cool map here to see how dark your skies a
