    This one from explore? https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/759787-first-light-with-the-explore-scientific-observatory-tent/

     

    not cheap, but looks like it could deal with the local carpark lights almost as well as an angle grinder. Waiting for a few more reviews, but I could well end up getting one. Seems like you need to stake it well or it could fly off, so maybe best for garden use (was at a starparty once and the weather shredded a cheap tent!)

    Yes Peter. That’s the one. Video is a bit of a joke. Typical American hype. I got it to try out sites around my garden for a future permanent Obsy and for taking on holiday breaks to darker sites. I have not got round to setting it up yet not helped by the fact that it has been wet and windy here for the whole Month of May.  Hopefully I will get a chance to try it out soon and will post a review.

  2. With the naked eye you should try to find the various constellations. This will help you to learn how to find your way around the night sky. When I started out many years ago I used a device called a planisphere to help. They are still available but now many prefer to use apps on a tablet or phone.
