| Name | kevin e |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen many shooting stars, having been to locations where there is far less man made light, making observation easier to observe a major increase in stars as well. I am a intelligent person who wouldn't waste your time or mine filling this form out for a casual siting. |
