LP is definitely getting bad where you live. It would be interesting to get a SQM or SQM-L reading on a nice clear, transparent night when saturn and the big dipper are invisible.
The only stars i can see at nite, are the big ones Arcturas,Antares,Vega,Altair,Deneb. I can see the 3 star handle on the big dipper but not the bucket. Saturn i cant see either.
The only way im finding anything at night is by using a compass and looking on stellarium where the object will be. Then i use the finderscope to find bright star's with, and just hop from there using my 2" wide angle EP. Thats how i found saturn i had to point my scope in the west and just move the scope around until i found it.
I dont really go out much anymore maybe for like an hour, there is nothing else to see that i already saw on the first 2 days iv had my scope. Everything i find in the sky is just washed out completetly where all you see is black. Like M51 i found in like 20 minutes, but i couldnt see it at all not even a blotch. I'v found Globbular clusters but only the 1-3 brightest stars in them and nothing else. I'v found the ring nebula that was the onlty thing easy to see. The other nebula's im spot on but i see nothing. Basicly when im looking through the eyepeice on my telescope all i see is grey .. like this grey and stars are white
I guess another problem is my eyesight isnt what it used to be. Im only 23 years old and i recently found out my perfect 20/10 vision i had when i was 14 is now 20/40 i deff notice this when i put glass's on and look up. Things are clear and not blurry like before.
Yea it sucks here. Hopefully we have a poweroutage all night on a good night so i can go outside and check out the real sky lol.
