Hi guys,
I'm looking to take my 12" DOB out to Wallan (~52km north of Melbourne) in the next week or so, where the skies are much darker than the inner suburbs. I'm used to getting the scope out in my driveway to take a peek at Jupiter, Venus and the Moon which is great, however this will be the first time im looking through the DOB in a darker setting, which i know only as being 'a lot better seeing'.
Can i expect to see anything of a deep sky nature?
Planets come out a lot clearer?
Now'ish would be ideal given a new moon?
Cheers,
- Michael
