Site: Tierra Del Sol
This is the site used by the San Diego Astronomy Association. It’s about an hour’s drive east of the city of San Diego in a very dark area just a few thousand feet from the Mexican border. As a contributing member of the SDAA I get access to the site whenever I want. It features electrical outlets everywhere, restrooms with warm water, a warming room complete with microwaves, refrigerator, coffee maker and a little library. I usually set up on the public pads (in photos), but members can purchase their own private pad or observatory on the site.
For more information including weather conditions and driving directions visit SDAA’s TDS Page.
