I have not long been in the hobby and have found the lack of opportunities to image somewhat frustrating. Living in Brisbane Light Pollution is a big issue with a DSLR so I have to go west to image on new moon weekends. So if you are lucky that is one Saturday night a month.
For me these experiences have been great because the host and other guys that frequent the site have been very generous and I have learnt a lot. Internet research is great but "on the job" training is very worthwhile.
It is a lot of work however to pack everything up, drive out and setup.
Looking at the future I have just ordered a mono camera so I can image in narrowband. Also the wife and I are thinking about moving to a bigger block of land a bit more out of the city. When this happens I will build my own observatory. I would still maintain a portable setup however so I could attend new moon weekends as I enjoy the social and learning aspect of getting together.
