John- so the plot thickens
Look forward to a 'shootout' in similar conditions.
I know that on most nights in a semi light polluted sky on the northern edge of sydney I would not even bother taking out the APO- in these conditions the 14" Dob is the only thing that gives a view that is just enough to impress someone who has not seen the sky through a scope at all.
