Thanks Joe.

Many years ago we used to go for impromptu star parties to the paintball place in that general area and it was quite dark, and worth the one hour and a bit trek, hence the thought. Like everywhere else I suppose the LP is growing

I have only ever been to Wiruna for the SPSP, but think people do go up every month.

Are there any facilities available outside of the Star party? I’m not keen on the house.

[ QUOTE=OzEclipse;1601201]Hi Narayan,

I'm not familiar with the area but looking at the map, it's only a few km from Gosford. It depends what you mean by "reasonably dark?"

I can't imagine it will be great but certainly darker than Sydney.

You can see a significant Sydney light pollution dome visible from the ASNSW site north of Bathurst. Wiruna is at least double the radial distance from Sydney than Glenworth Valley. Heck, I can even record a faint glow photographically from Sydney from my place and I'm 250km west of Sydney.

Your signature says Sydney. Do you live at Gosford or in central Sydney? I would think if you do live in Sydney, you'd be better heading out on the Hume or Great Western Highway's. Put more distance between you and Sydney.

cheers
