where??

[BZZZZ]

where??

Good question Rob!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

How about an answer or suggestion? This goes for everyone here please?

Jonas Beach is a good starting place, and so is the Captree parking lot?

I am SO up for this. Captree sounds good, or even one of the closer parking lots.
God. I know if I do this I'm going to want a telescope.

I have one that I was going to sell :-)

[miniPT]

of COURSE you do!!! lol!!!
I could have bought a projector from you to, right??? lol!!

What is it and how much do you want for it? Can I put it on a payment plan??

[RobFriedman]

most places like Jones Beach require a stargazing permit... (which I have)

[Lukifer]

How about the beach in Bayville?

[miniPT]

I think it might be too bright on the sound side - coming around the strip..
perhaps on the bay might be better. I have to find out if we can get down there.

[BZZZZ]

Thanks miniPT your time to help is very appreciated...

[miniPT]

I just found online from Bayville town hall that we're gonna need a bayville resident permit. I'm going to call town hall tomorrow to find out for sure, since the summer is long gone.

and it was WAY too bright at both the sound and bay side in Bayville. They've got spot lights all over the friggin place, with signs that say "park closes at 9PM"
I think our best best would be out by Jones Beach if we can. I wonder if the Vanderbuilt Planetarium would let us up to use the telescope one night.
