Looking at the stars with a whole new meaning - Avenue of Stars

First, to see the stars, only had to look to the sky. Then came Hollywood, with new stars that dazzling brightness. Hollywood Walk of Fame became a tribute to his brilliance. To get a star on the Walk of Fame means you are officially a legend.

Hollywood is not the only place where stars are honored, however. Hong Kong, possibly the most metropolitan of cities in Asia, has its own Avenue of Stars, which honors artists who might not be big names in Hollywood, but they are legends own right in Asia.

Avenue of Stars was opened on 27 April, 2004, in the presence of Chinese government officials that ranging from the Financial Secretary to the President of Hong Kong Film Awards Association Limited.

It is not a piece of cake to be part of the Avenue of the Stars. Only people who have a proven record of being outstanding in their field will be further considered. Lai Wai Man (1893-1953), Lim Florence and the Butterfly Hu are three of the stars who have made enough of a mark to win his place on the Avenue of Stars. Bruce Lee deserves a statue. The decision is in the hands of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association and its affiliates, as the Journal of the City of Entertainment. Like its Hollywood counterpart, new film artists will be installed on the Avenue of the Stars regularly.

The Avenue of Stars is a project of 40 million dollars, New World Group, paying the bill, but popular consensus is that it's worth every penny.

What are some really good points star player in Northern California?

I live in the Bay Area and wanted to surprise bring someone to a really good star gazing area because he always wanted to go. I do not mind driving up to four or five hours away, and I was considering Glacier Point in Yosemite if I could not find anything else. I heard a lot about travel and some "star parties, but most just want be able to lay out under the stars all night. Any good places?

Here is a cool site I just found out tonight: http://www.jshine.net/astronomy/dark_sky/ It combines an existing map in the world of light pollution (satellite data) with Google Maps. The simple fact in a green should be a major improvement, but blue and gray areas are the best. As you can see, most of the Sierra Nevada is quite good, except the corridor of the road to Reno and Tahoe. The darker side California is the farthest corner of the Northeast, but that's a long journey. Another good place is the area surrounding the Lassen Volcanic National Park. The Sky & Telescope site site has an article on Light Pollution Atlas, which is based on the old site: The author http://www.skyandtelescope.com/community/skyblog/stargazing/47070002.html notes that the real darkness of the sky (which can be measured with a meter) is not exactly the same as what is shown in the Atlas Light Pollution. For practical purposes, however, the first website mentioned above should be a very good guide. For much of the year, if you want to clear dark skies, it is better heading into regions Southern California desert. In the summer, however, the area around Lassen is a great place. There are more local points halfway decent skies. For example, Mines Road (Ranging from the Livermore area of the back of the Mount Hamilton) is relatively dark, but it is a very winding. Point Reyes can be good as long as there is no fog coastal and he is looking in a direction opposite to San Francisco and Highway 101.
