Brian is right. The last time I looked, Sentinel was in Maricopa county - but
just barely. If memory serves me correctly (and as of late it isn't doing too
well :-) you don't have to drive too much further west of Sentinel on I-8
before you are in Yuma County. If it's really going to be in Yuma County, and
close to I-8 for access to a major transportation route, both truck and railway
(remember the railroad tracks next to I-8) then it could end up close enough to
Sentinel to be a problem for astronomical endeavors. Additionally, I suspect
that Yuma residents would want it as far away from their residential
neighborhoods as possible.
