But speaking of Arizona and stars and RVs, I just stumbled across this:
Butterfield RV and Observatory
They have a 16 inch telescope on premises, and a nightly star show! Does anyone know if this is a worthwhile place to stay? On the map, it does not look particularly rural -- lots of brightly-lit shopping centers nearby.
Hmmm. Just up the road from us but I've never heard of it. The location isn't perfect but better than most. Have you looked through the 12" at the Griffith Observatory or gone to their star parties? That's about as far from perfect as you can get but still good enough for casual observing.
Looks like they have a wood shop and HAM shack, too.
