You're close Tom - I'm in Litchfield Park. I've only recently attended a couple SAC meetings (I'm also an EVAC member) and once I found out about Sentinel, I came to the same conclusion you just did. Assuming I like Sentinel, it will probably become my preferred location for that length of drive. My observing friend, Bill, from Chandler might dislike the longer drive to Sentinel though! Oh well, I'll get there some day. Up on the rim though... that'll be another place for me to try for at some point. I guess you're right about the new lights in Maricopa, it was more the grocery store lights that surprised me than the lights in the new housing developments. Other than them not being there at all (good luck!),they couldn't be much better.
