If there's one thing you can say about serious astrophotographers, they are prepared to travel long distances to find remote and dark sites to observe and take photos away from city lights. For me, finding and travelling to these remote sites is half the fun. It's even better if you've got company so that the animal noises and sounds of nearby shotguns aren't quite so scary.
Heathcote, Victoria: Leon Mow Dark Sky Site
Thanks to the generosity of Leon Mow, the Astronomical Society of Victoria (Australia) has a dark sky site near Heathcote, Victoria. This is a great site for observing and astrophotography, not the least for the good company which helps to keep you motivated through a long night and the beds in the shed which aid recovery from the 'Heathcote Hangover'.
K242 near Aberdeen, Scotland
The Aberdeen Astronomical Society (AAS) in Scotland has a dark sky site on Forestry Commission land around 20 miles west of Aberdeen. Just hope the weather co-operates!
