Yes I do, but in my backyard the shadow of my house provide a nice lightshed to get off all of that bad pollution sodium light that views on in front of my house. Thatīs why I do observe most of my time in my backyard instead of my frontyard with my Apo and my Dob.
For really take advantange of the 10" aperture of my dob I do travel to the beach almost two hours and thatīs not happen very often...........

Great set-ups.. 
I can appreciate folks who can store their entire set-up(scope-n-mount) in their livingrooms.
