I live in Ormeau which is actually pretty dark Greg- not far from Bannockburn (other side of Riverlea Acres in real terms) on acreage - I can see the milky way most nights - and the galactic centre is quite bright.
I'm not expecting great things from an LX90 since it isn't a wondrously accurate machine - so I try to balance it as well as possible and wait for favourable conditions.

I'm excited to get what I get and it's nice to sit quietly in my garden and tease the possums which come right up to me sometimes.

Thanks for the tips
