But you might find it easier to use google satellite and just do a rough segmentation by the compass points, easy to calculate distance to obstruction as well. Also, do you need to go below 35/45degrees? That would make your object/boundaries a little less complex.

You might want to try and save a basic horizon with one or two changes and locate the new file. See if its txt/tabulated based, you might find it easier just to fill in the extra rows.

Hi Steve

I've already generated the obstructed horizon, by using the Mouse Pointer to draw it in The Sky X Pro. It was quite straightforward once I had the data points.

I am mostly obstructed below 30 deg altitude for 360 degrees due to trees and roof tops, it was the big Gum Tree that needed to be incorporated. However, the atmospheric crud at and below 30 deg prevents any activity in those regions regardless of them being obstructed. The joys of suburban astronomy.

Cheers

Dennis
