I've always enjoyed the observing sessions held at the park.  I've  
never done a formal star count there to determine limiting magnitude,  
but i'd guess it's a hair brighter at LRP than at the Farrington Point  
site, though surprisingly with less prominent light domes.  Since most  
of the sessions i've been to have included at least a crescent moon,  
it's hard to be sure, but i'd guess somewhere between LM 4.8 and 5.1.

Anybody have any better estimates?
