Very cool, light pollution is a pain when it comes to observing the night sky near a city. I would absolutely rather be outdoors than inside during a trip but sometimes variables are just easier to control indoors.
My favorite timing is when I am finishing my journey as the sun is rising. It has helped newer folks have a visual toward the end to help assist with a return. Happy travels!
Very cool. I'm a night-tripper. Last experience, (Nov 4th) was absolutely incredible. Sitting under the brightest full moon I'd ever seen. My wife was out of town, and so much emotion was running through me, that I called her in the middle of the night and woke her up just to tell her that I loved her. I think I cried for like, 45-minutes, which is more crying than I've done the entire year. I just did my write-up on microdosing and my experiences. Would be curious to read your input.
