Used these guys to order my 200p Dob off. Had an initial problem due to Paypal and TH were quick to notify me so I could get my order re-done. The scope arrived the same week despite them not being in stock when I ordered, which was a great surprise! Great service!
How do you deal with light pollution?
in Getting Started With Observing
Posted
Luckily we live in the middle of nowhere so I only really have to deal with the LP from Boston which isn't too bad... In the North/NW there is a big depot that destroys the sky but I do my observing on the opposite side of the house East/South/SW way where the sky is darkest!
I can turn the outdoor lights off and the neighbours sometimes have their outdoor light on, which I can mostly shield myself from.
Cars are another matter though, when they approach from the South road they have full beams on, so as soon as I notice one I end up covering my eyes for about 30 seconds at a time!
