On a good night the light pollution seems to be less because there is less moisture etc in the air to reflect it. Last night was one of those nights.
I observed nebulae, planetary nebulae, galaxies and globular clusters from 11pm to 1am DST with a 12" Dobsonian.
Attached is an image of Leo I from wikiski. The galaxy is 20' north (pa 5) of Regulus. I didn't see it. IC 591 is on the right of Leo I.
