Having only had my scope for one new moon so far, I got out about three times during the really dark, clear nights and a couple of times when the Moon was up. This time I'm hanging out for new moon and staying indoors.
It's an exertion on my shoulder so I have to be careful that I don't over do it! I don't finish work until 6pm so by the time I get home, have dinner and shower, it's already 8pm and all I feel like doing is going to bed
So mostly I only get out over the weekends.
