What do you do when you want to practice your astronomy hobby and your own yard is full of trees. You seek out another observing location. After finding a possible site and getting permission from the owner to use it I waited for the next clear night to try it out. I will be looking forward to trying this site out in the future. Being only 8 miles from the house this may be a very favorable location.
