All my imaging is and has been for several years taken from my own property. About the same as everybody I started by setting up every night and re-aligning when I wanted to take an image. I drilled receptors into the concrete to take the tripod feet so that I would have the basis every time for reasonable alignment to the pole but the continual setup, take down and storage of equipment proved tiresome. The access to a dark site within my area is almost an impossibility with the odd trip to a darker site out of the question during Holiday season. So, having a reasonably dark garden area, I installed a roll off roof observatory which was and still is a total game changer. All my imaging is taken from there. In my home office I also have a dedicated photographic printing setup. To complete the whole process from planning the shot through to printing the result is total satisfaction.
