For very very dark skies I carry my scope about 5 paces from my back door! If I want it even Darker I have to carry it up the back paddock!! Ahhh, the country.

The only time I have viewed away from home (in even darker sky) was at the Snake Valley Astro Camp last November and I had to travel 2k for that.

Apart from that I use to do a bit of viewing at our societies Ballarat Observatory but the last time I did that was about 17 years ago.

In other words, I don't have to travel anywhere.
