[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 561756, member: 12496"] Maybe you meant darkskyfinder.com ? I'm inclined to think two hours should be good for Oklahoma City. Or you could drive SE, towards Mena AR, and then worry about Texarkana :) (Texarkana seems no problem there). Dallas is larger, and it has an astronomy club with a dark site about halfway between Durant and Atoka OK. It is 1.5 hours from Dallas, and Durant is the problem, population 15000, about 15 miles, and it makes a noticeable big dome in the low sky. But the vast sky is fine. But since Durant and Dallas are the same direction, I wonder about if maybe Durant is hiding a little from Dallas? :) But the problem may be smaller towns much closer. If only a few miles away, the sky can still be dark, but there can be a light dome on the horizon. [/QUOTE]
