Hi, anyone know of a good spot to set up a telescope around Donabate?

When I get one, I'll be setting up near Waterside, but might have less light pollution at Tower Bay car park.

Main problem is light pollution from Tesco's Distribution Center, you can see the darned thing from orbit!

You are right Donabate is not great for light pollution - looks like you need to move out towards the Naul to get anywhere close to dark skies
