Cosmic Campground Sunset

My hubby and I were bouncing around just to look for a dark sky and we found this Cosmic Campground International Dark Sky Sanctuary. According to the research I had it is one of only 14 certified IDA Sanctuaries in the world. Located at Glenwood, New Mexico, USA

The place is incredibly, undoubtedly, and completely great because it has 360 unobstructed view of the night sky and it is Bortle 1. However, when we were there, there were people that did not know that they are in Cosmic Campground because they arrived at 10:00 in the evening and when they arrived at the telescope loading area they have their very bright headlight and made a u turn. And because they saw me standing at those telescope pads, they paused for a while with the lights on pointing towards me. In my head, I said...What an a_____e! Then we had neighbor camper who obviously not there for observation and photography made a very big fire at night. The scene made me stressed because I wanted to tell them but I did not because I know everybody has a gun. But, really! They didn't know that they entered into cosmic campground or simply they don't have respect!

My suggestion to the Bureau Of Land and Management please look into this matter. The white light is really ruining the place. Please let people know not to make the place the city of lights for God sake this is one of the 14 International Dark Sky around the world let us protect this place!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
