Dark Sky season is still gracing us with its presence across the Southwest. Here at BaseCamp37, we’re proud to be a Friend of the Night Sky through Stellar Vista Observatory, our local dark sky conservancy and non-profit.
During peak season, the Milky Way’s bright, detailed core showcases our galaxy in the evening sky before it slips below the horizon for the winter. With very little light pollution out here at camp, you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye, along with thousands of stars, planets, constellations, satellites, and, if your timing is right, the occasional meteor streaking overhead.
The best part? No telescope required. Just turn off the lights, give your eyes a little time to adjust, and look up. ✨💫
