Ron,
GinGin was in plan as next possible dark sky spot, but now I might think again. A week ago I was just about 12 kms from York, it wasn't the best 'cos of trees, but those objects wouldn't be affected anyway. Everywhere you go its fenced off, and trees are around the roads, even driving about 5-6 kms in from Great Southern HWY (turned left, Wambyn road I think it was) after a few kms becomes dirt road. I managed to find one spot, its entrance to the farm, claer and wide enough to park a few cars.
But, just under Orion (a bit left after 11 pm) I could see light glow, not much but I think it might've been from York lights.
Glen,
I'll try M77 and 79 tonight, if not cloudy
Thanks
bob
