Yeah, that's definitely the opposite side of Houston. I used to live near I-10 and the beltway. Yeah, I'm new to the hobby. Less than a year with a scope. I'd really like to do some Astro-Photo, but don't have the money for it right now. I'm happy observing. I really need to start getting out to a dark site (as dark as you can get near Houston). The George Obs isn't too far from me, maybe 45mins or less. Getting away from light pollution makes an enormous difference. I'd really like to schedule a week or two vacation in west Texas where there should be little to no light pollution.
