Thanks for the welcome all. And thanks for the link rmcpb. Yeah, a reclining lawn chair or something would be good, especially with Orion being directly overhead at the moment. Actually it would be a good idea in general. There are about six street-lights that can really screw up a good view from my place. But I can get a good view of pretty much anything directly overhead. Views to the low southern sky are obstructed by quite a few tall trees. The west is okay at the moment, that particular street-light is busted. I hope they don't fix it. ...I live in a pretty good neighbourhood, and security isn't much of a concern.
