Mine is getting to be a little big to keep pulling out each night. I normally reserve it for the new moon. That, and the fact that I am rebuilding the balcony, and work is busy.
However, when I was first starting out, I'd be out every night that there were stars (and planets) visible!
I reckon if I went back to my early posts, I was constantly chirping in about the things I had seen in the big black.
@Poncho, if Perth was less windy (and wasn't so obsessed with street lights), it would be a perfect location for viewing. My folks live south of Mandurah, and the night sky there is excellent. Unfortunately, the mozzies down at the bottom of the estuary are very hungry, and very persistent!
