Hi John, I am afraid that it is difficult to see any of the fainter objects because of the light pollution that we get near to the city centre. For this reason many of the keen observers in Liverpool are willing to travel up to a 50 mile radius. Areas such as Delamere Forest, North Wales and the Lancashire & Yorkskshire borders all offer better skies unless you are content to view the Sun, Moon and planets. Locally I would suggest the wirral coast line, reasonable darker sky looking out across the River Dee and Wales.

Do you have your own transport to get around?
