Location

I live in the suburbia that is south Doncaster, Yorkshire, and am surrounded by other houses similar to my own which reduce my field of view. Mine hides all the north and neighbours' hide the west and some of the south. Those on either side don't know about curtains, so their internal lights flood my garden, and those in the west and the part south all have security lights aimed horizontally, to reach the bottom of their gardens I suppose, but of course being floods, they light up all the sky above too. Can you tell that I'm not a fan of security lighting?
When I first came to this house, it was a good dark site, and though the nearest houses restricted my FOV as now, most of those in the south hadn't been built and of course, security lights hadn't been invented either.
My solution is to do all my photography from the Doncaster AS observatory, at the Austerfield Study Centre in Austerfield, near Bawtry. 
A much darker site with much wider views too. This is some 8 miles south of Doncaster.
