There was a subdivision in a dark place in the USA with covenants to suit astronomers..90 sites and they were snapped up by astronomers .. I think so many of the sites are remote control observatories but I am not sure..but even if remote as already noted you need a caretaker and really someone who may have to open up a dome and fix something...
But taking photos in a dark site whilst living in the city is now available...
AND I expect if doing research photos would be good
...
I have found that I can get a fast net link up home so I am going to work to a remote set up and see if I can make it work from Sydney.. but it wont happen over night...
I think the views here have been very good and positive and it will be interesting to see if anything developes and the final form it may take..
But as it is still raining it is hard to think astronomy will ever be available to me again...
