My garden has bad light pollution (outskirts of Glasgow) but fortunately there is a quiet country park withing a few miles that some astronomy groups use for viewing the sky so i,m going to try it there. I visited some relatives in Yeovil and I was blown away by the skies there. The milkyway was stunning from their garden, I couldn't believe the amount of stars I could see with the naked eye. I had only ever seen the sky like this in images and on tv. I could spend hours just lying watching the skies even without a scope or bino's there.
