Where to go to get clear sky.

I am sick of being the victim of this wet weather and as the long range forecast holds little promise of good imaging opportunities I have decided to think along the lines of going some place for a week to image..I will need a day setting up due to the many rest breaks I need to do stuff these days but time is not a concern I have heaps of time ...mmm sort of... but not one to answer to..boss or wife.

First choice would be some sort of guest house with a safe spot to set up, next is building up my old xtrail as a travelling unit with basic bedding and meal preparation stuff and a big box of mount, scope, camera etc...

I am thinking the 115 mm and the EQ6 and the EQ 5 with a dlsr for wide field...if it works I could build in a hoist so as to run the RASA ...I have not tried to lift it by myself and it is probably best using a hoist...but just the EQ 6 and 115 mm triplet is a respectable set up so I will be more than happy with taking that...it's the destination that I need to work out...

However where to go..how far would I have to go...West I presume but I don't know where to start and so I ask if any members can make any suggestions and tell me where to go
