Yeah the smoke stuffs up my viewing. It seems anymore, if there is any dirt/smoke/cloud around me, it spreads the ambient light from the burbs.
It's quite shocking. It never was that bad, but the ambient light from Dandy and Fountain Gate shops drowns anything within 20-30 degrees of the horizon.
I seen Jupiter the other morning and thought "grab the scope for a few minutes", but then I would have been majorly late for work.
It was stunning next to the moon.
I've only had 1-2 really dark sky nights in the last 2-3 months.... Now it's rain.... Oh well, back inside!
