I haven't done much by the way of using the scope this last few months, due to the fact how the clouds "mysteriously appear" within one hour. Ok, being winter and early spring you'd expect that, but this year has been bad because we've had much more rain than in the last 10 years, at this time of the season.

It is frustrating, now I've found once a clear night, there is slight haze in the air and I get the light glare from Dandy and Fountain Gate shops drowning out the lower ALT levels. Massive light glare anymore.

In about 10 months since I've had the scope, I've had only one (1) spectacular night viewing, the sky was dark, it was unbelievable.
I've never had anywhere close to it ever since. :/
But I do get somewhat dark skies from a "suburbia" POV.

I just hope my gears come in early so I can get this project on the go and start viewing the summer sky via computer.
