In another thread, someone mentioned ‘local seeing conditions’ as being one of the numerous factors involved in getting the best quality images, but I’m not sure exactly what this means.

For a given geographic location, and ignoring the prevailing light pollution from nearby towns, I assume it refers to heat and light sources (etc.) from one’s own or neighbouring properties. I’m aware that grass and trees are better surroundings that concrete, for example.

But are there particular combinations of terrain that should be avoided, or is there a ‘blacklist’ of particular geographic areas? If there is, please let me know so I don’t end up buying a property there!
