Good point. I'll generally be in the back yard at Blackburn. I have a good view of the meridian, and the light pollution is much less than I had in Randwick, 5km from Sydney CBD. I had the 8" dob there, and really enjoyed it.
I hope to get to dark skies a couple of times a year at least.

I'll be able to leave it outside permanently, in the garage. Are we talking 3 hours to cool down?
It looks good on the Vixen, Brian. So does an ED100
