This topic came up in another thread and an article in the Texas Standard was sighted with references from 2012 claiming petroleum flares were “polluting” the dark skies around Fort Davis and the observatory. Just wanted to note that I attended a star party about a month ago and stayed in Alpine. The skies were awesome and reminded me of my last visit to the area in 2013.

Definitely recommend the star party at the observatory and looking through the telescopes they open up. Me and my now Mrs. enjoyed it when we stayed out in Marfa a few years back.

it makes sense that @Coffee and TV stayed in Marfa, but I would've had @UNTLifer as a Marathon man.

Rented a spot just outside of Alpine on the north side of town. Stopped and had refreshments at the White Buffalo Bar in Marathon. You are correct though, I am not a fan of Marfa. Much prefer Fort Davis, Alpine, Marathon. My favorite region of Texas.
