Hi everyone!!
I've recently decided to lessen the amount of doco's I watch on the stars and get out and have a look for myself.
Problem is, I live in the heart of Sydney (Stanmore) ... and am worried what (if anything) of interest I might be able to see due to light pollution.
Thankfully it is dark in my little backyard .. but worried more so about general city lights causing problems (is there anything I can do to help .. eg. surround my scope with a tarp or something?)
Sadly I don't currently have a car so transporting it somewhere darker isn't an option at all.. would my purchase be worthwhile or a waste of dollars. From what I've read and my budget, i was considering getting an 8" DOB..
Plus I only have a very small balcony to use so I can pretty much only look Up, South, and West (tree and roof block any view East or North).
Also, I should add, I'm pretty lazy, so I won't be heading out to any stargazer party meets in case anyone wants to suggest I see for myself.Yes, i'm
