Hi Rolf, some nice shots on your website. I checked them out months ago when I started getting back into this.
I cannot 'see' LMC naked eye. I'm on the Sth facing slopes of Mt Albert with quite good sth looking sky but LP seems to defeat my eyeball visuals. I'll pull out the 10 x 50 Binocs and try to get a better idea of the area. I suspect I am looking straight at it and cannot 'see' it !!
I have a dark site spot up in the Waitakere's, up by the TV Transmitter tower. Small carpark on the western side of the road. Horizon to the west and no lights and pretty good to sth and nth. I'll take the scope up there one night over summer, only 30 minutes away. The 10" can pack down quite easily, pull the struts out and put it in the wagon Just getting my act together with all the necessaries for an out of home base excursion. Scope has only been functional for about 3 months.
Cheers
