Telescope limiting magnitude calculator

I don't remember who put this up but I was using it earlier then came across the observer experience part.

I wasn't sure what to put so just went down the middle, certainly don't class myself as an expert. Although 10+ years in this hobby would certainly mean I am no novice either.

I mean how does one define experience, time behind the eyepiece  would seem the most obvious but I have come across a couple of people whose experience was many years time spent but seemingly relatively naïve about some aspects of astronomy.

Mind you, I am sure we all learn that little bit more each time we get the scope out to cool. I still get the "Well I never knew that" moment on a fairly regular basis.
