There is something about being out on the lake without any moon, and seeing the stars seemingly so close you can touch them. Unfortunately, it is getting more and more difficult around any of the land masses (shores or islands) to see these stars because of the lighting on shore. Subtle accent lighting, coupled with motion detector lighting for when you really need the lights would go a long way to improving night viewing, not to mention energy savings. But, like Cal, I think I will get out of this before it becomes a heated discussion where no one will end up being right.
