[AZ-Observing] Re: Tucson Observing Sites

I've been to Sunglow many times, and would have to say that "consistently 
poor" is not correct. I've seen some poor nights, but have also seen 
extended periods (> 1 hr) of sub-arcsecond seeing. Overall I'd call it 
better that most desert locations, not as good as the best mountain 
locations, with occasional periods of spectacular seeing that can be 
extended in duration but unpredictable in advance. It really is one of the 
best sites in Arizona, so if we're using a five-star scale I'd call it a 
five-star location.
