New Observatory

Located in Chino Valley, AZ.  Note the pristine clear sky.  This is in a "green" light pollution area.  The county has a dark sky law and the neighbors usually keep their external lights off.  The lights are usually located under the roof overhang, so the light is prevented from going up.

The background looks a bit crowded but the houses are on one acre lots.  About 1/4 mile to the west it jumps to 2 acres and then 5.  I expect the western sky to stay pretty dark for several years.
