astronomy in los angeles
I am very new to astronomy, brought in by a fathers day gift telescope. I'd
like to hear from other telescope users in Los Angeles County where some of the best telescope sites are. Maybe someone can recommend a website where I can join with others in the Los Angeles telescoping community. Thanks |

Don't STOP in Palmdale, it's nothing more than a little verson of L.A., from
within Palmdale you can't see anymore, BUT, if you go more towards the North, (you can't get on Edwards), you can find some awsome places. Myself I live in a trailer park just over the county line and have better skys, and I know of a place up off of a back road that's not bad either.

Thanks Hello, I asked this same question in here the other day and got a bit more input, one was a website www.laas.org ... I'm from Portland, OR but I am staying here in LA for quite some time and so I brought my cheap little 60mm refractor with me for some sight seeing... I don't have a car at my dissposal but if you do I'd be willing to pay for gas so we could go hit the Mojave and see some stars.. From what I've learned Palmdale is the nearest light/smog free area for it, Edwards AFB is supposed to be pretty good to (but I guess that IS in the High Mojave isnt it?)... regardless where we'd decide to go feel free to email me with your phone number and some dates youd like to go if your interested...

canyons ? I never said anything about them, and there's none out here either.
Out here I have an almost unblocked view west to east, north to south with a few hills to the north. -- In This Universe The Night was Falling,The Shadows were lenghtening towards an east that would not know another dawn.
