I am hoping to get others out to experience it with me and enjoy the view.

I think you need a large aperture scope to complete your dark sky property setup Mike.

You are too kind , maybe one day.
When using Tim Carruthers 24" F4.2 up near Chilagoe far north QLD, which enjoys true Bortle 1 skies, the views (of everything) were utterly jaw dropping and I didn't want to go to bed, spent several hours thoroughly mesmerised, I got sick of uttering the word Wow...you just wait!

Would be quite similar from here at Eagleview too...a bit closer than 3hrs west of Cairns
