Hi there Upsize this (you'll have to include your name it will be easier
), you have discovered first hand the so-called new equipment curse. ie You get a new scope, binocs, or eyepieces, etc, and you can be guaranteed of cloudy skies for a while anyway
.
I find I use my 10x50s even when I have the scope out, good for scanning the sky. I agree with the other post, get yourself a planisphere and start learning the sky, and if you can get to a dark site that would be great. I spent about a week in March at a friend's cabin in the Latrobe Valley and could clearly see the Magellanic clouds naked eye
.
I hate street lights.
Welcome and have fun
