Since there is a streetlight immediately across the street from my house, I'm looking for a local (Williston) location where I can set up under a reasonably dark sky without breaking any rules. The other night, I checked out the Catamount Outdoor Family Center in Williston, and it seems like a good spot. The parking area (dirt) is not gated, and so is accessible at night. It is also large and flat, allowing several cars to park with plenty of space for telescopes. The sky seemed reasonably dark, for Williston, with good views in most directions.
I'm wondering if anyone else has used this location and if doing so does not violate any rules. I wrote an email to the Family Center contact address asking how they felt about me coming to set up, both as an individual and, potentially, as a location for VAS outreach events. I haven't yet heard back about that.
