[AZ-Observing] Re: Light Pollution at Oak Ridge

I wouldn't disagree that it's sad, but I'm doubtful that the light pollution 30 
miles west of Boston has changed considerably in the past 10 years.  The light 
pollution map shows the site to be pretty far gone.

But the story does answer a great astro-trivia question: where is the largest 
telescope east of Texas?  I would have never guessed correctly.
