Terran - even if you can't come bring your scope to our observing meet on the 8th December up at Mangrove Mountain, you should definitely bring yourself along.
You'll get the chance to look through some different scopes, and some nearly the same as yours. You can then test your expectations and experiences against a known quantity/quality.
I was on the edge of Long Jetty the other night trying to see Comet Holmes, and the light pollution around there was terrible with low hazy clouds.
If you still get stuck, i'd be happy to come around one night/weekend and have a look at your scope. But if you can, you should come up to the Pony Club on the 8th.
