Now to get the observatory up. I can’t do any imaging out of Sydney now after council put an unshielded LED light outside the house. Apparently they feel it’s necessary to light up the bottom of the garden, 40 metres away from the road. Have asked council to arrange to fit a shield which they said they had arranged but not done..

They are astronomy killers those LED street lights, I have one across the street from my front yard and it lights up 70 percent of my back yard like a Friday night football game. The only dark area of the yard is surrounded by 30 foot high tress, making it useless but I'm going to get onto the council, they are illegal trees right on the neighbours fence line and if she trims them to 10 feet I'll be happy, otherwise it's some poison but I don't want to end up breaking the law and causing myself problems.
My back yard also has the glow from McDonald's up on the highway and Hungry Jacks on my side of the highway 2 blocks away, it's torture and sees me not bothering even taking my gear out much at all.
I hope you find a decent solution at minimal expense David.
When I was a kid a sling shot, slug gun or 22 fixed all of my light problems......
