Ah man, damn it! I spent 10 months in Australia, but most of it was during lockdown, and I didn't have a car. I only got 1 week of travel and didn't see much of the stars.
My best experience was in Fiji and New Zealand, but I imagine that the outback could be even better.
I've gone out to Mojave on super clear nights. Vegas is easily visible, almost like a sunrise. The Great Smoky Mountains look good on paper (light pollution map), but in practice they are quite clowdy / hazy, so viewing isn't good. I imagine northern Canada could also be quite good.
- LilBytes 6y agoMan that sucks! Were you mostly in Melbourne during this time? They were in lock down for a long time but most of the rest of the country was only 1-2 months of severe lock down (hard limits on leaving the suburb and then later, a hard 50KM limit from your place of residence).
- titzer 6y agoI was in Canberra, which wasn't technically locked down for all that long, so I could probably have gone out more. It was generally very demotivating being there during the pandemic, so I mostly just farted around the lake on my bike. It's a big lake, though! Cheers and happy trails. I'll return to Aus sometime!
