After four years in Israel, and as an observer, I wholeheartedly agree Glen. South of the Equator is the place to be, maybe as far north as 20 deg S if you want to get Andromeda at a bit of elevation.

Imagers want their target objects to be up high enough to avoid looking through alot of atmosphere, so low angle targets like Andromeda are out anyway.
