Now that is awesome. Thanks for posting, Bob.

Interesting that Escalante puts off enough glow to take a chunk out of the dark sky but towns like Boulder, Torrey, Bicknell, Loa, Lyman and Hanksville don't. Makes sense I suppose, still interesting.

And this sure does make me love the west even more. Although I wish they had a toggle for the purple pins...

There are very very few places I would choose to live East of Colorado.

Interesting observation looking at the mid-west, Kansas. Check out how the cities and lights are kind of laid out like a grid.
