Went for a drive last night. I was determined to see the Orion Nebula. Unfortunately it didn't happen. To make sure i was looking in the right spot i even took the laptop to use Stellarium. I am confident in saying I was looking at the right spot. But could not see the Nebula. Using either 90x mag or 225x mag.
What am I doing wrong? I drove up north to get away from the city lights. I was about 2k out of a small town which was on my back. Would of its lights affected me?
And it was cloudy last night and didn't get a real clear view. Would that of been the problem?
Do I need to use some sort of filter?
I will see you one day nebula..... one day....
