Only one way to find out - get out there
Weren't you going to be observing on a beach somewhere last weekend?
It's a pity you didn't get out last night (Sunday) - it was really good from my place. As I was going to bed around 1:30am, I put the head out. There was plenty of definition in the Vela-Crux Milky Way, from suburban Melbourne. Omega Centauri was easily naked eye, and I bagged Centaurus A with the same 10x50 binoculars. Doesn't beat the Lakes Entrance golf club though
