thanks for reading and posting a comment....Hi Stan,<br />thanks for reading and posting a comment. It's much appreciated. Feel free to subscribe at the bottom of the page. You'll be kept up to date via email then. In comparison to many observers, I suppose I'm quite lucky as Ross is a small town, and I live on the edge of it so have rural countryside to one side of me. The most I have to deal with is from the town itself which is due SE of my location, but it really doesn't effect me that much. The neighbours external lights are the main problem because not only do they light up their own back yard, but also mine and it seems most other peoples too! But, I don't begrudge it too much. I've got a bespoke temporary construction that I can put up that helps. It's just a question of having the inclination to do so! So, in answer to your question, on a moon free night, I seem to be able to see to mag 8 or 9, but this decreases with local LP and me losing my night vision by accidentally looking into bright lights when they're on. I've spent a little bit of time in London but each time missed the chance to pop to Hyde Park to meet up with the Baker Street Irregulars. Clear skies!

In London it's really terrible I must say. Stan London Stargazerhttp://www.stargazing.me.uknoreply@blogger.com
