Seeing sparkling stars against the jet-black sky is always wondrous to behold. But for those living in concrete jungles, it is hard to see them with the naked eye or even with a telescope. All that one can see is the moon and a few of the brightest stars. Cities have thousands of artificial lights and spew pollutants into the air, masking the view of stars that are light years away. This compels enthusiasts and astronomers to travel to far-off places in search of the right sites for stargazing.
