As far as the darkness is concerned, compared to my home in the heart of suburbia, the stars that i can see out there are awe inspiring! (WadeH, you are so lucky to live in chittering valley. Some of the properties look amazing, and i dont think anyone could complain with a night time view like that from your backyard! <sigh> one powerball) Having said that, someone from AGWA told me that your able to see about 60% of the nights sky from chittering, and up to 80% from toodyay.
i guess im just looking to expand my horizons.....

I live 12kms out of Toodyay and the sky is awesome ... however I'm a one man operation with a very small observatory
