Sounds like a monster of a scopevoices wrote:Ah, I'm jealous. I'd love to be able to spend nights with a clear sky. My flat is in the middle of a busy town, but faces south with a very clear view of the horizon (since it's a few floors up). I see Orion beautifully when it's clear, but the nebula is a bit more evasive due to light pollution. I've been tempted to recover my telescope from my folks, but the sky tracker connection needs replacing, the finder scope is knackered and the thing weighs as much as I do. It would also take up all of the space between my sofa and TV when set up, and there's literally nowhere to stow it when it's not. So.... it's a pipe dream.
