| This map was generated with data from the
Clear Sky Clock for Comanche Springs (which combines info from the
World Atlas of Night Sky Brightness and its own database of
observing sites), Map
Point Maps, and a little ingenuity.
Comanche Springs is under the large cross. Other markers include Copper Breaks State Park and Lake Hall, OK to the north, Fort Griffin and Possum Kingdom State Parks to the south east, Caprock Canyons and Palo Duro State Parks to the north east, and Claude observatory to the north. |
