Tom:
Where do you observe on Mount Lemmon? I have a six year old daughter and one
of our staple weekend activities is camping and fishing at Rose Canyon
Campground / lake. I take a 10" dob with me, but the campground is heavily
treed making it pretty challenging.
Thanks!
Steve

I reported a *21.2* at Farnsworth Ranch. The previous weekend I was on Mount
Lemmon, where the SQM gave 20.8 at about the same time of night.
The 0.4 magnitudes of additional brightness at Mount Lemmon is compensated by
the 7000 feet of additional elevation. Overhead, the Milky Way detail was
better at Farnsworth, but as you worked you way to lower altitudes, Mount Lemmon
was superior.
