An Update.
Had a good go tonight again, looking for some of the objects that have been recommended.
Unfortunately some of them start off in the Southern skies and my view to the south is obscured.
I also get significant light pollution from the East with the Port Kembla Steel works being around 6Km away.
I tried to find the Galaxies just off Chertan in The constellation of Leo, but i still think it was a little low in the sky and still in the light polluted part of the sky. I saw something "different" in the sky but could not develop the resolution to see anything significant.
So i concentrated on the clusters that can be seen around Canis Major and Orion as its a particular dark part of the sky from my house.
So i'll keep looking and maybe even take a drive out with my dob one night for a darker patch of sky.
Next question, how do you stop the Dob bad back ?
