I came from a really terrific dark site...to my South the closest light was at Grafton a 100 klm road trip and not much less as the crow flies.
I never thought to bother doing any astronomy is the city ..I gave it up.
But last year I decided to have a go.
There is a street light at eye level on the other side of the road and I only get one hour exposure because of trees.
But its not so bad and I think by not letting the light upset me in any way whatsoever helped more than anything...the guy next door arived home an bathed me in his head lights whilst photographing the horse head...no worries, did not growl under my breath or sneek in later and let down his tires...and there is yhe auto light on the other side that goes on if a possum run up the tree between our houses...no problem.
And so I am enjoying every minute and frankly surprised at what I can image under what I once classed conditions so bad that there was no hope...dont let the difficulties upset you or put you off...there will always be something better and also something worse.
