Big Orange thing arrived in a box today! (Orange is better!) :)

Well I finished work last night at 03:45 am (sunday morning) the moon was out and looked good but the haze made no other stars visible. I was temped at this time to get the scope out to break it's virginity but the daytime was comming. The sky was blue rather than black. I notice sky is only black between around midnight and 2 am here in Oxford, UK.

Do we get better viewing in winter when it seems to be dark all day long?

Or north of Finland looks promising only 4 hours of daylight a day but pursuading the Mrs. to move location may be a little more of a problem

Kindest regards David

lol you may get her to move however you may then want to move back when you get four months of daylight. When I got the scope I just told her that I needed something to do or ill just end up at the pub each night.
