Back in the day I used to take my boat about 10 miles offshore at dusk to enjoy some light pollution-less stargazing. It's amazing how many stars are visible with the naked eye under the right conditions. Having experienced it first hand I'd like for my wife to be able to see it for herself and we are going to head out to New Mexico sooner than later for this purpose. Have any of you ever made the trip to NM for stargazing? Have you used an organized tour while out there or just winged? Looking for some insight as I'm not even sure how to research it effectively at this point. My google fu keeps taking me to a state park site that didn't have much info other than paved pads for telescopes. I want to be able to enhance the naked eye view as much as possible. I've heard that there are organized tours that take you out in the middle of nowhere to enhance the experience.
