I don't know what to tick. Do I tick them if I have a problem with them, or if I want them, or have them?

The reason I ask is coz I don't have any of the problems listed.

I don't go anywhere for Astronomy except my backyard (even Club night is only 2k away, and camp is 2.5k away)

Clear days outnumber cloudy days - We do have an extroardary high amount of clear nights
Electric power is available - Home power
Good road access - I live on the Main Road (not that we have many cars go by)
High elevation - I am at a reasonably highish altitude (480m)
Low humidity/dew Doesn't worry me now I have dew heaters
No large obstacles blocking the view - none
No or low light pollution - I live with Dark sky, no Light Pollution

The only thing missing is fellow Astronomer interaction at home, but atleast I get a bit of that on club nights,
and the only problem I have is I have more windy nights than average as I am exposed to any wind off the open paddocks.
