The stars truly shine upon Breezy Woods like few other places. With Class 2 skies on the Bortle Scale the star view will thrill amateur and expert astronomers alike. Bring your binoculars, telescope or even a full fledged astrophotography rig, and spend the night in awe of the galaxies above.
Bortle Scale Class 2:
Typical truly dark site
- The summer Milky Way is highly structured to the unaided eye
- The brightest parts of the Milky Way look like “veined marble” when viewed with binoculars.
- Zodiacal light is bright enough to cast weak shadows.
- Clouds in the sky are visible only as dark holes in a starry background.
- Several Messier globular clusters appear as naked-eye objects.

“If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore…But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
