Thanks Ric and mcross, xelasnave. I will refrain, thanks very much for the tip. I am on Mt Nathan, in a large valley, so I seem to have a really good dark spot in my own backyard. There is a mountain tip just behind my place, I don't get the sunrise untill abut 25-30 mins after the rest of the coast, so even city spill does not seem to affect me, would it be affecting the atmosphere and my viewing?
Just a question, what would be the limit of my Nexstar? Could I easily see the rings of Saturn, the colours in a nebulae or Pluto's coulouring? How detailed can I see the moon, would I be able to distinguish the reflective mirrors left there. or would a close up on a large crater be it?
With my Skyalign, I have used the three star system several times, it says it has a lock, but when I point it to the moon or Jupiter, it skews way of somewhere else. Not sure what I am doing wrong, I even have the manual out there with me going step by step.
Thank you all very much for the replies. I will take the advice on.
