Trip Report by Dennis Young
This is a yearly outing of a club called Local Group out of LA area. It was a 1000+ mile round trip, took me about 10 hours to drive back…
The White Mountains of Arizona offer some of the darkest skies in the state. At elevation, the transparency is remarkable, and southern objects rise higher above the horizon murk.
The Local Group members were welcoming hosts, and the camaraderie among astronomers from different clubs made for memorable nights under the stars.
