Apr 22, 2015 19:52 | #1 I'm currently in New Hampshire and while I've used dark sky finder to go further into the White Mountain area, I'm still getting a relatively noticeable light pollution in the horizon. And it seems to get worse every year.

Apr 27, 2015 05:08 | #3 Thank you. I did see some of his work and people have said Acadia is a great location but it seems to be pushing the boundary as far as where the light pollution is covering. It looks very similar to that of the White Mountains. I just didn't want to drive 4+ hours and be disappointed either. Although their terrain along the water looks amazing

Maybe I'm being too picky but yes coastal NH is pretty bad. I need to make it an overnight trip honestly. Acadia looks gorgeous.plenty of spots around the whites where I get no light pollution on my horizon. If by "the foot of the white mountains" you mean Lincoln or up on the Kanc, then yes you will need to go further north or at least look harder for areas that will block out light pollution Nikon D750, Nikon 50 f1.8, Tokina 16-28 f2.8, Tamron 150-600

Washington but there are visible light pollution. Is it me or it's gotten worse the last couple years? I remember Kancamagus wasn't bad at all two years ago. Now it's orange over the horizon :\
