IMHO, unless the planet has some indiginous (sp?) life [Terra], or
perhaps the potential for life [Europa and Titan are both known to have
organic compounds], magic is very tough to come by. Depending on the
distance from a bio-endowed body, I'd say AT LEAST double or triple the
drain.
For example, on Luna, double the drain. On Mars, triple it. On
Jupiter's moons, double it, on Europa, normal it.
IMHO, Astral space expands forever in all directions from all bodies
possessing life/organics. But there reaches a point where it becomes
more and more difficult to operate because at great distance the
Astral-parts-per-million becomes less and less.
Bumping drain up alleviates that some, although some consideration will
have to be made for astrally percieving and astrally projecting.

Coulda been fun if he jumps into Astral space on Luna and never comes
back . . .
