500km from the city... check
no cloud cover ... check
full moon.... lol .. check
they should change Easter to a weekend with no moon! arrgh ... was more light pollution than in my backyard.
we did see a spectacular view of saturn though at 150x... i think i could have gone double that without much trouble. then 15 minutes later it was only average. amazing how it can change.
we split the alpha centauri double which was cool and looked at jewel box and of course orion nebula.
overall great!
