• We have an Observatory of UConn, in Storrs

• Many private observatories
  

How can we have these many facilities but block our views to the cosmo?  Looking at the chart above, very few of these facilities are located in areas where visibility is in the Magnitude 5.9-6.1, which is the best we can have in Connecticut.

If we don't act diligently on this issue, our future generations will not even know about the Milky Way!
