Thanks, fishenjim. Not sure where you are, but another place you could try for a star-filled night is down the bottom of Paradise Park via Paradise Drive. Turn right at the bottom (by the stop signs) and you'll be on the cliffs. It's completely dark and on a moonless and cloudless night can be quite stunning, and is, of course, not as far to drive if you're in Puna. Bring a flashlight, though, and beware that some odd characters camp there.
Not sure how long the dark nights will continue, though. One or two new people here would like to implement street lights at each corner and that would make it much harder to view the most beautiful view of the Hawaiian night sky, but at least we'll be safe in our houses, just like everywhere else that has street lights.
