Frank, you'll be able to take piccies no problems in Mackay. Plus, you'll be able to takes piccies of all that you do now, and then some...like M31 and M33, with no hassles at all. M51 will be within reach as well. Lots of objects you'd find hard to get now because they're too low will be a lot easier to see from up here.
