my first (Partially) clear night sky

Well I've had my scope for a week now and looked at the moon tonight, glimpse Vega, saw Polaris  briefly and, I think Capella. I found it very difficult to sight my (Celestron 114EQ) because of intermittent cloud cover rolling in most of the time, I tried very hard to see Jupiter but not to be and to much street lighting on that side of the house, but what a great start. I know me and my scope are very limited but I really enjoyed my time out and hope to be more organised next time. My Stellarium was a great help with general location, star name and statistics. I can't wait to get it to Turkey next year where I can look at the stars ALLLLLLLL night off my balconies.

Nice to hear you are enjoying yourself, when you get

a good clear night you will be ecstatic, believe me.
