Hi Morton,
I can't help but admire amateurs who stick with astronomy when their only option is to view the heavens through Sydney or Melbourne's light polluted skies.
In country areas we get it too easy, sometimes there are so many stars visible that it takes a while recognize what you are looking at. Last night was again another night of crystal clear skies with excellent seeing.
I now have a pair of binos in the car permanently.
(I used to drive to Canberra three times a week at 4am and often drove the distance with the sunroof open gazing upwards.)
