The WVAC is a friendly, engaging, and informative Astronomy Community in the West Valley. We have an exciting program of activites from September to May. We invite you all to participate in our activities. We think joining us will enhance your interest in astronomy and astroimaging while having fun at the same time. Consider becoming a member. Our active members use a variety of telescopes, mounts, cameras and electronics, do visual astronomy or electronically assisted astronomy with cameras, or astrophotography by processing many hours of data captured by electronic cameras. We actively share our knowledge and experience with young and old, novices or experts. Please visit our website WWW.WVAC.NET

A farther drive, but way darker skies. This is a 61 minute drive from my house, most of it at freeway speed.
Take I-10 WEST until Exit 81 for Salome Road. Take Salome Road northwest for 9.6 miles (Open range, watch for cattle), turn right on Eagle Eye road, paved road. Go 8.4 miles north on Eagle Eye road. Turn left (West) onto a dirt road for the Harquahala Foothills Staging Area, about 0.2 miles off the pavement. Good wide area, almost never anyone there. Pit toilet. Picnic table. Set up on north part of clearing.
Not on state trust land. BLM land only.
