Sorry to hear Brett,
What is the fencing like around your place? Could you easily weave some flatened cardboard boxes atop of the fence to block some of the light? It can be a very efective means to minimise the effect. I drilled in some for-sale signs once, making sure the writting was facing into thier yard, and purposely left it up to make an issue... Sure enough, they came over to complain of the eye sore, where upon I took the oportunity to introduce myself and begin a new relationship built on respect
...LOL... Does not always work...BUT...where there is a will there is a way. Honestly, if all else fails..find the biggest sombero hat you can find and stargaze under that
What kind of scope was it? I always use light pollution as an exscuse to go bigger.
Have fun anyways!
Dave
