I'm in the South Houston area (Pearland). And have only met 2 others in my area through the Houston Astronomy Club.

As for me. I'm new to AP. 

I image mostly from the light polluted backyard. I'm trying to get out to dark site more often.

Hi Tim,

Yes,  infact as my name suggests we are neighbors!! I am in Sping, TX. Creekside village of the Woodlands to be precise. Glad that there is someone close with the same interest!

I am new to astrophotography and had never visited a dark site.  Interestingly enough i am in Big Bend this week.  Its ironic, but it would seem like astrophotography would get boring if I lived here .  Its one of the places you would love to visit but not stay. 

I can take as long a sub on lum filter as I want.  Back in the woodlands more than 180 sec is pushing it. Will post some pictures soon.

That is pretty close. 

I've been to the NHAC dark site back in November. And I also go out to Nails Creek State Park on lake Somerville. 

That awesome that you getting to visit bottle scale 1 (assuming).

You must have wonderful dark skies up there.  What is your bottle scale?
