Re: More Lunar & Planetary observing due to LP?

Most of my adult life I lived in rural eastern Oregon, where light pollution was just a theory... naked eye observing was a visual feast, and I could regularly see naked eye to Mag 5.0 (not joking tho maybe off a bit due to inexperience) - sometimes a tenth or two better. Then I moved to western Oregon. Man I had no idea how bad LP can be. It's a good thing I enjoy viewing the moon... I do have a small "good seeing" dome from the zenith down about 30 degrees. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get underneath my telescope to view near the zenith.
