This will be a continuously evolving section that will hopefully be a good resource for finding suitable observing sites. If you are planning an observing session and want to invite others, please link to directions here rather than duplicating them in discussions. Above all, if you know of a good site that isn’t represented here, create a discussion on the BigTent site so we can discuss and get detailed directions. Pictures are very helpful!
