Otherwise overhead it can be truely spectacular during the dark of the night.
Linden Observatory doesn't see this sky glow, because of the trees in the way, which the airfield does not have.
I can imagine similar conditions at the golf course, if the neighbours lights are not an issue. No such problem at Linden or the Airfield.
I'll be making inquiries to see if the Airfield would be available to us this coming new Moon, for the 19'th of December, if you'ld like to come.
Live long and prosper,
Mental.

Thank you for the reply Mental, and thanks for the invitation. Unfortunately I will be out of Sydney on the 19th. We will catch up some time later.
Clear skies
