      I know what you mean Charl. Getting severe withdrawal symptoms from viewing thru my scope. Last bit of dark sky I say was to look at Jupiter in the murk for about 10 mins in a slight break in the clouds. Was hoping June might bring some nice fine weather, but no luck,so far here! Grrrrrrr.........????
