Nice! I drive through Liberty all the time to/from Buffalo. I've driven through at night many times, but never stopped to let my eyes set to the night sky. I figured it wouldn't be as good as it is out in Coudersport (which I've never been to at night), so there was no point in even bothering. Now I'll have to stop.

One thing very impressive to me, from one drive through the Northern Tier at night, was the fracking going on. I remember driving on Route 15 somewhere near Blossburg and seeing all this light on the horizon. I figured it was Williamsport and the Susquehanna Valley way off in the distance. Then I reached some of the lights, I could tell it was frackers working 24/7 up on the mountaintops.
