I have camped way out in the middle of nowhere in Utah and Colorado.  The night sky is unbelievalbe in places like thateven without a telescope.

The clearest and brightest sky I've ever seen was when I was on border patrol in Sasabe, Arizona. 

There's a big difference between the city and the country. Take that difference and multiply it by 3. That was the Arizona desert.

I guess that's why so many telescopes are in AZ.
