It may be that I need to find a new location then, imagine a typical square backyard, with the odd light on a couple of sides, a tree on another and the remaining side, my East is fairly clear of obstructions, but also barren of stars. The action for me is straight up, smack bang in the middle of the Milky Way, this is sore-neck territory but it is also, where the theatre of the heavens is acted out, night after night. I can't change the universe, however I can change my orientation and go from the vertical to the horizontal, if I only had a chair.
