Abstract
My family owns property up in west-central Michigan. This is an area known for its relatively dark skies. It’s a place I go to hunt, fish, and enjoy the occasional clear night. Early this spring, I was treated to a whole flock of clear nights. One problem: too much snow on the ground. There was simply no place to set up my telescope.
