My son and I just wanted a night away - to spend time together and to check out the stars and planets with his new telescope. Hartsville did NOT disappoint! We had so much fun and literally ran out of time with all the great things in store. I felt like I was zapped back in time to the 1970's (or further!). The location was easy to find, safe to park and gain access, and from the get-go we simply enjoyed ourselves. We played pool - 8-ball and 9-ball, sifted through and played the many LP's from yesteryear. When the time was right we viewed the night sky on a moonless night. I haven't seen stars like that since our move from Michigan 8 years ago. Thank you to our wonderful hosts - allowing me to spend time with my son, and not have a worry in the world. We will be back. Guaranteed.PS - the star photos were taken w tripod, Canon DSLR and longer exposure (30 sec) and near full F-stop settings. The telescope was a 10” mirror celestron not set yet for photography but the views of nebula and other faraway places magnificent.
