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.
