The results would be interesting but the variables are the problem.
LP can actually change by the hour on some nights.
I suppose in Cities it is always the same. Bright.
But in the country it is either dark, or darker, with the occasional reflection under the clouds of distant light.

I guess it would be best to have no moon, or take a shot before the moon rises.
Seeing and transparency aren't going to matter all that much for a 30s shot with a wide shot. It is more just to get an idea of what everybody deals with in their backyards. It is also then interesting to look at the same people's astro photos knowing what their LP is like.
But really, it is just an excuse to see some new photos and get to know everyone better.
