The other neighbours are absolutely amazing and will turn there light out for me without any hesitation they even offered there back yard to me to use if I cant fix the light problem.
So if I can get in a shadow or behind my tarp setup will my views be back to what they used to be? As long as a light source is not directly on me or my scope will it be all good again?
Sorry for the silly questions but im going insane not being able to get out and enjoy my hobby.
Thanks

Oh Dan you poor thing, that's a terrible situation .
Have rock will travel?

In addition to screening, some people use a light shield on their scope which minimises stray light entering the tube & at the same time, the dew as well. Just google images "dew shield for telescope" and you will see what I mean. I have the black foam rubber bought from Clarke Rubber that I plan to do this with myself- mainly for the dew issue.
