I image from my tiny backyard in Bentleigh East, good view north but surrounded by houses. The best images I've got of the planets are when I'm not looking over the city (ie west), but right now the planets are basically overhead at dusk.

One of the key aspects is to cool your scope down to ambient temperature, which takes an hour or two if you don't have cooling. Then, it's up to the weather gods to decide if you get good seeing. Remember, seeing changes frequently, minute by minute, all you need is a lucky 3 minutes! If you can see 'em, then you can image 'em

Do you have a balcony? Here's what someone was able to produce from his balcony in (light polluted) Paris.

Check out this video for his location and final result
