Hey sig226, have you seen this story?
Great job to her!
I lived in Vernon, then West Milford. I loved to spend nights on top of Hidden Valley, watching for the Perseids and the Leonids. I was just off Greenwood Lake in West Milford. Once in a while you could make out the Milky Way, but not very often. Sometimes if the clouds were just right, you could see the line from the light pollution around the New York City metro area.
My guess is that their observatory is closer to Florida than Monroe. Good for Caroline Moore. I hope she is able to capitalize on her discovery.
