SeeingExcellent
Most people have never seen the night the way it actually is.
Two-thirds of us live under skies too bright to show the Milky Way. We spend our nights finding the places that still go properly dark, measuring them, and bringing small groups out to stand under them. No light pollution, no rush — just a guide, a telescope, and a sky deep enough to get lost in.

Each site is plotted by how dark it gets and how far the horizon falls away. The brightest point is base camp; the rest are a night's drive or a short flight out.
