Semi-dark site in Canberra?
Folks, I'm going to visit friends in Canberra and they asked to bring a telescope to show them planets and bright nebulas etc. What is the best place in suburban Canberra to place the scope? Should be relatively dark and within Canberra. Tidbinbilla is good, bit a bit far. What about the top of Mt Stromlo? Does it have gates anywhere? Any other place? Somewhere on the north side of the city? Shouldn't be a true dark site - just something with less street lights and good non-obstructed sky.
