We can’t see anything from inside the house either due to trees. Gotta go outside and down the driveway a little ways to get a good unobstructed view of a lot of things.
Isn’t it neat to aim the ‘scope towards a “blank” spot in the sky and see a gazillion faint stars?
It is neat. Would be way neater if there wasn’t so much city light to mess up the darkness. LOL!
