I bought my telescope at the wrong time.
Beginning of summer, which where I live means it never gets really dark. Darkest time is a 2am.
Also the weather has been rubbish, very cloudy.
I definitely will be keeping August 27th in my diary and pray the clouds go away. I just ordered myself a 2X Barlow which with the stock 10mm and 25mm eyepieces will help a lot.
Also got a T-Adaptor and T-ring for a Nikon so I can take my dads D90 and use that.
So for the time being I have been making do with using the internet to learn about the constellations.
