I had the same problem with faint objects, particularly galaxies, but it was simply that the sky wasn't as dark as it could have been and on later viewing sessions they were there although it sounds like you had dark skies Rohan. I also took mike's advice and bought an eye patch and that makes a big difference in my environment. I found that accurate collimation, once the OTA has cooled, also makes a big difference on the LX. My biggest problem seems to be getting detail on Jupiter. I've yet to determine whether its' seeing, insufficient cooling or some other factor but I'm certainly not seeing the sort of detail that others tell me I should with the LX; only time will tell.
