Re: [APML] Chiricahua Adventure and New Images

I just checked the CO map of your dark sites. Man I bet those are some good
sites! I've been up there on sky trips and I know those 10-12,000 feet sites
would be extra clear for the really dim stuff. I guess the disadvantage
would be the normally poor seeing that usually goes with the CO rockies but
that shouldn't hurt the short to mid focal lengths too bad.
I'd also like to see the Cloudcroft area of NM. I hear they have much better
seeing. It's just hard for me to get off like that with my business. I
wonder if the AZ site is comparable to Cloudcroft?
