yeap easy for me as i'm a cartographer (map maker) so send me coordinates and i'll put them on the map. i brought the idea up on another forum so i'll just copy the message over here.
---------------------
Im in canberra, and for anyone else in the region this may be of some use. I'm work in a GIS field (map making) and was thinking about producing a map showing great sites for astromony. There would be conditions to this map, as in has to be within certain travel time from your location, camping facilites maybe, no mountains in the way, or ontop of a mountain. Bascially i can easily produce a map given these condtions. Only thing is for ppl to comfirm them as good sites. Also i can factor into the map any condtions ppl think are important, as in elevation, average rainfall, temperature, wind. Basically i give everything a weighting and then the computer will tell me the best sites.
Unfortunatly my house in canberra doesn't offer the best views, hence the reason i would like to know where to go close by for a few hours to get some dark skies, and also if the weather turns bad be able to get home easily and not waste a whole night.
