geordie85 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 There's plenty to see all year round. Have a look on stellarium to see what's in the best position for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowardHopkinson Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 What camera and lenses have you got? Do you have a CLS light pollution filter? Roughly, how many stars can you see with the naked eye in your location? I have horrible light pollution where I live, I can't see much below magnitude 3 and still I manage to get lots of shots of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters etc. Yes, it can be a pain in trying to find objects without a goto mount, but it can be done with patience and practice. Fortunately for me, I recently purchased an EQ3 pro with Synscan and that has definitely made my life easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
