My little bit would be to concentrate on globular and open clusters, planets, moon and double stars when in surburbia and take the odd trip to a dark site to have a serious go at the nebulae and galaxies.

After saying that, try for them in your yard and keep a good log with a description and sketch then compare with what you see at a dark site.

If you are looking for a good dark site your local astro society would have a site they meet at near the new moon so try getting in touch with them.

Keep looking up
