To move or not to move, that is the question
so today i purchased a property in Mount kuring gai, i will be moving there in the first week of December. the place i got is next to the national park and has a relatively unobstructed view of the sky. the thinking is that i could move my observatory up to sydney, that would reduce the multiple hour drives to fix something stupid (to be fair that has only happened twice), but the light pollution would be much worse. i guess the key factor here is the seeing conditions. based on the data i am getting most nights I am convinced that my observatory is currently sitting at the bottom of a lake. if moving up near sydney provides better seeing conditions then i am happy to sacrifice the dark skies and integrate more subs. the big problem is that i have no way of measuring the conditions in any really accurate way, and if it is replacing like for like seeing then i would rather keep the dark skies ... i sold my NEQ6 so i cant set up a scope in sydney and monitor the sky ... any thoughts ?
